Answer Options
A
Send the entire list to the owner and stop tracking because the architect created it
B
Close every item when the first trade says its work is finished
C
Move the list to warranty records without field verification
D
Track each punch item through assignment, completion, and verification

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Punch-list control requires assignment, completion, and verification.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: Send the entire list to the owner and stop tracking because the architect created it

Send the entire list to the owner and stop tracking because the architect created it belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the punch-list verification event.

Option B: Close every item when the first trade says its work is finished

Close every item when the first trade says its work is finished belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the punch-list verification event.

Option C: Move the list to warranty records without field verification

Move the list to warranty records without field verification belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the punch-list verification event.
