The blue tape is to mark walls and other areas that need attention so the subs know what they need to address. As an example, the fireplace area in the picture was touched up late in the plaster process and the blending did not work well. The plasterers will have to feather the patch into the surrounding wall better. Rather than saying “near the fireplace” we can tell them to see the areas marked in blue tape.

Towards the end of a home’s construction there comes a time to walk through the house with the owners and mark areas of concern that need to be addressed. In some cases, the items may be obvious like a window covered in plaster or major blemishes on the floor. In other cases, the signs may not be that obvious. A good way to make sure all of the items get fixed is to walk the house with a notepad and a roll of blue tape. The notepad is to write down all of the items and then have the owners sign the list. After you and the owners have signed it, make a copy and give one to the owners. That way, there can be no question as to what was agreed to for fixes.
