Dimension stone cladding punch checklist

Dimension stone cladding punch is where small misses become callbacks after the crew has demobilized. This checklist walks the finished work the way the owner and the next trade will see it, with the photo that closes each item instead of a note that reopens it. Work is commonly verified against the applicable building code, manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it

The stone setter on a repair callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing cladding punch items before scaffold is released for good.

When in the schedule

During closeout, after other trades have worked the base of the wall and after final cleaning reveals chips, smears and open joints.

The checklist

Every item, and the photo that proves it

The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.

01

Chip and edge repair

  • Chipped or damaged faces repaired to match

    Each chip and open corner located and photographed in context, patched with matched material or the panel swapped, wide shot confirming the repair disappears from viewing distance.

    2 photos
02

Joint and sealant callbacks

  • Open or failed joints re-pointed and re-sealed

    Cracked pointing and pulled sealant cut out and redone, movement joints confirmed still open and working after the repair.

03

Staining and loose panels

  • Staining lifted and hollow panels resolved before signoff

    Residual staining cleaned, panels tap-tested for hollow spots, any panel that sounds loose pulled and re-anchored, punch closed per elevation before the area is released.

What usually sends this back

The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work

  • A chipped arris filled with a color patch that reads darker than the stone, closed as repaired without a wide shot showing how it looks from the ground.
  • A panel that rings hollow on a tap test logged as cosmetic, when the hollow spot means the anchor or setting bed never took and the panel is on its way loose.

Common questions

What does this dimension stone cladding punch checklist cover?
3 items across 3 sections, covering chip and edge repair, joint and sealant callbacks, staining and loose panels. Each item spells out what the person walking the job is actually looking for, not just a box to tick.
Who should run this inspection?
The stone setter on a repair callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing cladding punch items before scaffold is released for good.
When in the schedule should this walk happen?
During closeout, after other trades have worked the base of the wall and after final cleaning reveals chips, smears and open joints.
Why does every item ask for a photo?
5 of the 3 items call for photo evidence. A checklist answer without the photo is a claim; the photo is what makes the record worth something in a dispute and lets a reviewer approve work without re-walking the job.
What most often fails a dimension stone cladding punch inspection?
A chipped arris filled with a color patch that reads darker than the stone, closed as repaired without a wide shot showing how it looks from the ground. A panel that rings hollow on a tap test logged as cosmetic, when the hollow spot means the anchor or setting bed never took and the panel is on its way loose.
Can I use this checklist in RTI?
Yes. Start a free RTI workspace, build this list as a checklist, and the Photo Gate holds the submit button until every mandatory item is answered and its photos are attached. Approved inspections roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident audit trail.
