Start with the approved reference
Inspecting against an obsolete drawing can create a complete report for the wrong product.
- Current drawings, BOQ and finish sample.
- Approved first article or control sample.
- Inspection level, tolerances and release authority.
Check construction and dimensions
Focus measurement on interfaces that affect installation and function rather than collecting random dimensions.
- Critical overall and interface dimensions.
- Panel thickness, joints, reinforcement and fixing provisions.
- Level, square, alignment and repeated module consistency.
Check function and appearance
Photographs should include context, scale and the product or room code.
- Doors, drawers, locks, lighting and removable panels.
- Colour, sheen, grain direction, edge quality and visible defects.
- Hardware identity, quantity and adjustment.
Check identification and packing
Shipment release should clearly identify open defects, rework evidence and the person authorising dispatch.
- Product, room, zone and package labels.
- Surface, edge, corner and hardware protection.
- Carton condition, handling marks and packing list reconciliation.
Use this guide in the project file
Attach the relevant checklist to the current drawing, quotation or approval record. Record project-specific decisions in writing and confirm destination requirements with the responsible professional or authority. We record project-specific decisions clearly and confirm destination requirements before production.
Inspection evidence record
Set the evidence requirement before inspection so a late photo set cannot replace a planned control point.
| Record area | What to retain |
|---|---|
| Check point | Approved reference, dimensional tolerance, and functional requirement. |
| Evidence | Photographs, measurement record, sample comparison, or packing check. |
| Disposition | Accepted, corrected, open item, or shipment-release decision. |
