Service Scope & Examination Focus

Category Objectives

• Check specified works against approved drawings and technical requirements.
• Identify observable defects, installation errors and deterioration.
• Examine physical characteristics at agreed construction or service stages.

Inspection Methodology

Inspections follow the agreed construction stage or asset scope. Defined locations, examination methods and acceptance criteria guide the work and subsequent reporting.

• Confirm the assignment. Identify assets, locations, inspection stages, coverage and reference criteria.
• Plan inspection points. Select methods and works requiring examination before concealment.
• Establish site readiness. Confirm access, preparations and the condition of presented works.
• Examine the works. Inspect materials, connections, installations, surfaces and specified dimensions.
• Record evidence. Capture locations, photographs, measurements and defects against drawing details.
• Evaluate conformity. Compare inspected work with requirements and document identified deviations.
• Report findings. Provide location-specific conclusions, examination coverage and access limitations.
• Reinspect repaired work. Where commissioned, revisit rectified items and update defect status.
