Wall and corner protectionWall and corner protection punch checklist
Wall and corner protection 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, the applicable building code. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The wall protection installer on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing Division 10 punch items before turnover.
When in the schedule
During closeout, after corridors have seen cart and equipment traffic that reveals loose runs and knocked splices.
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 loose or misaligned section located
A close shot of the condition plus a wide shot locating the run in the corridor or room, cause noted before rework.
- 2 photos
End caps, splices and color touch-up completed
End caps refitted, splices realigned, color and finish touch-up matched, section re-checked tight afterward.
Signoff
- 1 photo
No remaining protection items before the area is released
All punch items per corridor or room closed with photos, runs pull-checked once more before turnover.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- A loose section snugged at the bracket without confirming the fastener actually caught backing, so it works loose again under traffic.
- A color touch-up smeared over a scuffed guard while a popped end cap next to it is left off, leaving the run open at the end.
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

- 3 items across 2 sections, covering defect repair, signoff. 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 wall protection installer on a callback, or the GC's superintendent closing Division 10 punch items before turnover.
- When in the schedule should this walk happen?
- During closeout, after corridors have seen cart and equipment traffic that reveals loose runs and knocked splices.
- 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.
