A work-to-complete list is a list compiled by a contractor and issued to each subcontractor and their crews at, or near, completion. It is a list of remaining items and defective installations that the subcontractor is required to complete prior to leaving the site.

This is similar to the ‘snagging list’ or ‘punch list’, which is a list of faults identified by the appropriate certifying authority, architect, contract administrator, or employer’s agent. The items on the list should be addressed and rectified prior to a certificate of practical completion being issued.

Many contractors wait for the architect and/or engineer to compile the snagging list before issuing their work-to-complete list, since subcontractors are often not very motivated to make repeat trips back to site to complete work once most of their work is complete and most of the payment received.

The work-to-complete list, however, enables the contractor to ensure that subcontractors and suppliers complete their contractual requirements. It demonstrates the importance for the contractor of having an attention-to-detail and being aware of the quality and progress of the subcontractors’ work during their time on site

The earlier the subcontractors receive the list of remaining items, the sooner the problems will be solved. The list should be specific, e.g. ‘complete ceramic tile base in bathroom on first floor’.
