A punch list inspection will be requested and done at substantial completion. Upon receiving the punch list, the developer can begin gathering the Project Close-Out Documentation, including final record drawings in PDF and CAD file, Two-Year Maintenance Bond, Complete Inventory List, and Affidavit of All Bills Paid.
