We have our QC man go through and mark all of our own deficiencies with chalk immediately after the application of the prime coat of paint. We then re-inspect to make sure all of our own deficiencies have been touched up. We inspect a third time to make sure these touch-ups have been sanded. After that, it is the general contractor’s (or owner’s) responsibility to go through and mark out all trade damaged drywall. We have an agreement to go through and do a one-time repair of the areas they have marked. We generally include for two hours per suite to do this in a residential hi-rise, and if it takes more than this, we bill for the difference. Hours are recorded and signed for daily.

If there’s a punchlist to be completed, have the GC’s super sign off as the repairs are being performed. Once the whole list is finished and signed off, the job is done and complete. If another punch list is added after other trades damaged the finished product, then the appropriate change orders will be issued to correct the additional repairs, etc. No job is complete until the owners are satisfied
