Recording a completed masonry repair

A repair record should show what was done and where. It helps future owners or contractors distinguish retained masonry from newer work.

Keep comparable photographs

Use similar viewpoints before and after the work where available. Save the accepted scope, approved changes and material information supplied by the contractor. Record any care or observation instructions specific to the installed materials.

Define the next step

Describe the actual completed work accurately. A photograph of a neat wall does not establish the condition of concealed construction or unrelated areas.
