Photo Log
A simple photo record of conditions and progress — dated, located, and tied to punch items — so "what did it look like then?" always has an answer.
Photo Log
Photos are the cheapest insurance in a move. A dated picture settles disputes, documents conditions, and proves what was — and wasn’t — done. This log keeps them organized instead of buried in your camera roll.
What it’s for
To document existing conditions, progress, and problems so you can prove the state of things at any point: pre-existing damage you won’t be charged for, a punch item before and after, the condition you handed the old space back in.
How to use it
- Photograph on every site walk, at delivery/install, and at the final readiness walk.
- Capture location and date with each shot (most phones do this automatically — confirm it’s on).
- Link photos to their punch or damage items.
The structure
| Date | Location | What it shows | Linked item | Photo |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 10 | Suite entry | Pre-existing scratch on door | Punch #4 | ✓ |
| Jun 16 | Open area B | Power installed at desks | Scope: power | ✓ |
| Jun 17 | Conf. Room A | Chipped table on delivery | Damage log #2 | ✓ |
Tips
- Before, during, after. A “before” photo is worth ten arguments later.
- Document conditions you inherit. Pre-existing damage you didn’t log can become your bill.
- Keep it shareable. A linked album or shared drive folder beats a personal phone.
