What do I do when handoff to insulation/TAB/startup lacks notes?

QA/QC, Punchlist, Documentation & TurnoverQA/QC starter — verify before calling it complete

Before turnover, check that insulation/liner/vapor barrier work can be finished cleanly and is not crushed, blocked, torn, or buried.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Check clearance for insulation around the run.
Look for crushed wrap, torn vapor barrier, exposed liner, or blocked joints.
Verify access panels/dampers remain usable after insulation.
Flag areas the insulator cannot reach.
Ask before covering damaged insulation/liner.

Ask foreman

Does this insulation/liner condition need repair before we close the area?

Do not

Do not hide damaged wrap, liner, or vapor barrier behind finished ceiling.

Why it matters

Insulation problems become condensation, energy loss, noise, access, and punchlist issues later.
