What does this frp wall panels punch checklist cover?

9 items across 4 sections, covering walk-through survey, bond and edges, sealant and damage, closeout. 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 panel installer on a callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing wall punch items before turnover.

When in the schedule should this walk happen?

During closeout, after the space has been used and cleaned and after edges and joints show where water got behind.

Why do these items ask for a photo?

3 of the 9 items call for photo evidence, 3 photos in all. 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 frp wall panels punch inspection?

A lifting corner glued back at the surface without confirming the bond behind it took, so it lifts again after the next wash-down. A sealant joint that opened re-run over the old bead instead of cut out and re-sealed, so the joint stays weak.

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.

Walk-through survey

Every wall pressed and tapped for hollow or soft spots
Seams, corners and walls behind sinks pressed and tapped for hollow areas and bubbles, each found spot shot wide and marked for re-bond.
Moldings checked tight along their full length on every wall
Division bars, corners and cap moldings pressed along their length; loose or pulled sections re-seated or replaced with matching trim.
Cutouts re-checked around devices and equipment added since final
Plates, escutcheons and wall-hung equipment added after final looked at for covered edges, closed gaps and cracks spreading from the cutout.
No photo
Bottom edge and base checked for water getting behind panels
Base molding and the panel bottom looked at after washdowns for staining, swelling or sealant separation, with any wet area traced to its joint.

A sealant joint that opened re-run over the old bead instead of cut out and re-sealed, so the joint stays weak.
