The resinous flooring walks, in build order
Where each walk sits in the schedule
01rough-in
Resinous flooring rough-in inspection checklist
After the slab is prepped and before the first coat, once because the substrate condition disappears under the system the moment coating starts.
Run by: The flooring applicator's lead checking the slab, with the GC's superintendent releasing each area before the primer coat goes down.
02final
Resinous flooring final inspection checklist
After the full system is applied and cured, before equipment and traffic return to the area and before the owner's walk.
Run by: The flooring applicator with the GC's superintendent, walking the finished floor before turnover.
03punch
Resinous flooring punch checklist
During closeout, after traffic and cleaning reveal weak bond and pinholes the initial walk missed.
Run by: The flooring applicator on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing floor punch items.
What most often sends resinous flooring work back
- Coating applied over a slab that never had a moisture or RH test, so vapor drive blisters the system weeks later.
- Concrete profiled too smooth for the specified system, giving the primer nothing to key into.
- Cracks and control joints coated straight over instead of chased and filled, so they telegraph and reopen through the finish.
- Thickness assumed from the datasheet while the actual material consumed over the area comes up short of the specified build.
- Integral cove base run thin or with a rounded top edge that peels away from the wall at the termination.
- Slip-resistant broadcast skipped or under-applied in a wet area so the finished floor is slick where it needs grip.
- A delaminated patch topcoated over without cutting back to sound, bonded film, so it lifts again at the same edge.
- Pinholes cosmetically filled on the surface while the outgassing that caused them is never addressed, so they reappear.

- Can I run these checklists in RTI?
- Yes. Start a free RTI workspace and load any of the 3 lists (34 items in total). The Photo Gate holds the submit button until every mandatory item is answered and its photos are attached, and approved inspections roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper evident audit trail.
Run these lists with the Photo Gate.
Tag one area, scan it, and the submit stays locked until the photos exist.
