The higher the score, the lower the typical cost impact of this work stage.

Quality impact 8/10

The higher the score, the stronger this stage affects final quality and durability.

In brief

The defect shall be reported once it has been reliably identified, as soon as possible and before it is obscured or further damaged, in accordance with the contract and regulations.

Base inspection on agreed standard, measurement and documentation, not solely on impression visual.

What is controlled

The "When to submit corrections" process is used to compare the performance with the agreed scope and detect defects, omissions and risks before closing the stage.

When to check

The "When to submit corrections" check should be performed before covering the work, assembling subsequent elements, making final payment or commencing use.

Defects visible only after covering should be checked at inter-stage inspections.

Documents and conditions of receipt

Before you start, prepare: a contract, a design or established standard, product manuals, a list of checkpoints, 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 "When to submit corrections" inspection in conditions similar to normal use and with lighting that allows you to assess the effect without artificially hiding or exaggerating defects.

Record measurements along with the place, tool and conditions control.

Acceptance Criteria

Inspection should be carried out in conditions suitable for subsequent use and before covering the work with another layer.

  • the report is in writing
  • includes photos and location
  • a safe method of further use has been established
  • the inspection refers to an agreed standard, not exclusively 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

  • waiting until the end of the entire renovation
  • self-repair making assessment impossible
  • report only by phone
  • collection in a hurry, without documents, lighting or 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.
