Resilient flooringResilient flooring punch checklist
Resilient 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 ASTM resilient flooring test methods, manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The flooring installer on a repair callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing flooring punch items before turnover.
When in the schedule
During closeout, after protection comes up and after other trades and traffic have revealed lifting, gouges and adhesive failures.
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.
Lifting and bond callbacks
- 2 photos
Lifting seams and edges re-bonded
Lifted seams and edges lifted, failed adhesive removed and the area re-bonded and re-rolled, cause corrected rather than glued back over.
Damage repair
- 2 photos
Gouges and burns repaired or material replaced
Gouges, burns and stains located and photographed in context, tile or piece replaced or repaired to match, wide shot confirming the repair blends.
Base and closeout
- 1 photo
Base gaps closed and no remaining items before signoff
Base and transition gaps re-adhered and closed, floor cleaned and initially finished per the maker, punch closed per room before the area is released.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- A lifting seam re-glued on top of failed adhesive so it opens again, closed as repaired without lifting the material to find why it let go.
- A gouge from a rolled load patched with filler that reads a different sheen, logged as fixed without a wide shot from standing height.
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.
Common questions
- What does this resilient flooring punch checklist cover?
- 3 items across 3 sections, covering lifting and bond callbacks, damage repair, base and 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 flooring installer on a repair callback, or the GC's superintendent clearing flooring punch items before turnover.
- When in the schedule should this walk happen?
- During closeout, after protection comes up and after other trades and traffic have revealed lifting, gouges and adhesive failures.
- 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 resilient flooring punch inspection?
- A lifting seam re-glued on top of failed adhesive so it opens again, closed as repaired without lifting the material to find why it let go. A gouge from a rolled load patched with filler that reads a different sheen, logged as fixed without a wide shot from standing height.
- 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.
