Base inspection on agreed standard, measurement and documentation, not solely on impression visual.
What is controlled
The "List of defects after renovation" process is used to compare the performance with the established scope and detect defects, deficiencies and risks before closing the stage.
When to check
Check the "List of defects after renovation" before covering the work, assembling subsequent elements, making the final payment or starting use.
Defects visible only after covering should be checked during acceptance. interstage.
Documents and conditions of receipt
Before you start, prepare: a contract, a design or established standard, product manuals, a checkpoint list, good lighting and measuring tools.
Control Tools
Typical materials and supplies: form or report, fault markers, photo documentation, manuals and data sheets.
Typical tools and equipment: level or laser, staff, tape measure, flashlight or side light, camera, function tester specific to installation.
How to check
- Establish acceptance criteria based on the contract, design, instructions and agreed standard.
- Provide conditions for defects to be seen without artificial exaggeration or concealment.
- Inspect the surface visually, then perform measurements and functional tests.
- Record any discrepancies with the location, photo, meaning and expected method of repair.
- Make a decision on acceptance, conditional acceptance or refusal for a specific scope.
Conditions for reliable reception
Conduct the "List of defects after renovation" inspection in conditions similar to those of normal use and with lighting that allows you to assess the effect without artificially hiding or exaggerating defects.
Record the measurements along with the place, tool and conditions control.
Acceptance Criteria
Perform inspection in conditions appropriate for subsequent use and before covering the work with another layer.
- the list does not combine multiple defects into one general point
- critical defects are separated from aesthetic ones
- closure requires confirmation
- inspection refers to the agreed standard, and not solely for subjective impression
Limits of self-control
Do not perform installation tests using methods that may cause shock, flooding or damage to devices. Entrust specialist measurements to people with appropriate equipment and qualifications.
Common reception errors
- description "to be corrected" without space
- no photo and scale
- deleting items without re-collection
- collection in a hurry, without documents, lighting and measuring tools
Difficulty, time and risk of errors
Partial, conditional and final acceptance
The acceptance may be partial, inter-branch, final or conditional. The more elements that are covered later, the more important it is to receive them before covering them.
What to do with the check result
After receipt, sign the report or list of defects, set the deadlines and rules for re-inspection. Do not delete photo documentation until all corrections are completed.
