Raised access flooringRaised access flooring punch checklist
Raised access flooring 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 manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The access floor foreman on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing floor punch items before turnover.
When in the schedule
During closeout, after other trades have lifted and re-dropped panels for their work, which is when rocking and edge damage appear.
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.
Defect repair
- 2 photos
Each rocking panel or damaged edge located
A close shot of the condition plus a wide shot locating the panel on the grid, cause noted before adjustment.
- 2 photos
Level and cut-panel touch-up completed
Pedestal head re-leveled under the panel rather than shimmed, cut edges re-sealed and gaps closed, panel sitting flat afterward.
Signoff
- 1 photo
No remaining floor items before the room is released
All punch items per room closed with photos, floor walked once more with no rock or rattle before turnover.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- A rocking panel shimmed at one corner instead of the pedestal head being re-leveled, so it settles back to rocking under load.
- A cut-panel gap at a penetration caulked over cosmetically while the panel still isn't supported on all sides.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 5 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.
