Run this checklist free on your phone, with photos and signatures: myBivy for Trades at srene.io. A field checklist, not the code; follow the code and amendments your jurisdiction has adopted.

What gets missed most

  • Lippage at tile edges.
  • Hollow spots under tile or engineered flooring.
  • Expansion gaps left exposed.
  • No protection, so other trades damage the new floor.

This is a field checklist, not the code. Your inspector enforces the code and local amendments your jurisdiction has adopted.

Questions trades ask

What is lippage?

A height difference between the edges of neighboring tiles. Industry standards set acceptable limits by tile size and joint width.

How do you find hollow spots in a floor?

Tap the floor and listen for a hollow sound. Mark each spot and note it on the checklist.

Who signs off on the flooring final?

On this checklist: the flooring contractor's QC check and the GC.

Can I use this checklist on my phone?

Yes. It's built into myBivy for Trades, free for up to 5 people: Pass, Fail or N/A on each item, notes, photos and readings, signatures on site, and a clean PDF for the GC.
