Define what finished means
Set the on-site quality audit
Why this step
Plumb, level, water-tightness, anchorage. These are the four arguments you will otherwise have on site with no evidence — define them as an audit and the answer is recorded rather than remembered.
What this does
Enforces rigorous on-site quality compliance protocols, verifying frame vertical plumb (within 1.0mm/m), anchor spacing (max 700mm), perimeter silicone bead adhesion, and water ingress resistance.
Before you start
- Site QC Checklists and Inspection Point standards configured.
Steps
Important
Conduct field hose water nozzle spray tests (AAMA 501.2 standard) on representative installed windows to certify airtight and watertight sealing.
-
01
Open Installation › Configuration › Site QC Job Inspections.
-
02
Launch a new inspection for the target project floor and opening series.
-
03
Complete mandatory checklist tests: Plumb & Level Laser Check, Fixing Lug Spacing, Drainage Cap Fit, Gasket Corner Welds, Handle Smooth Travel.
-
04
Record exact digital caliper/laser measurements on the inspection tablet.
-
05
Sign off on approved openings or instantly generate rework punch list tickets for failed items.
Common mistakes
- Performing QC inspections without calibrated digital spirit levels.
- Passing frames where anchor screws are countersunk directly into thermal-break plastic insulation.
Checkpoint
A unit cannot be reported installed until its audit has been completed on site.
