project check lists buildings
use in conjunction with the
2010 standard specification for small building works
INTRODUCTION It is difficult during a visit to t o a construction site to memorise all of the details that need to be checked and while the obvious ones stand out, many other items that should be checked are forgotten. Superintendents Superintendents may get distracted or over extended due to time constraints constraints and overlook items that may have more serious consequences later in the project. These Check Lists provide a guide to the inspections that are required on site for a particular project. They are a précis précis of the full full clauses in the project project specification specification and can be be referred back to the specification specification if the full text text of the particular particular item is required. The check Lists Lists will remind you of virtually every potential problem in materials, workmanship and coordination between trades. The Check Lists include a list of the Hold Points, Witness Points and Tests that are required to be signed off by the Superintendent on projects that include the Project Control section. The rest of the checks are simply dot points to jog the memory of the Superintendent. Superintendent. Project specific checks may be added to the Check Lists for individual projects and the experience of Superintendents Superintendents can be shared by the addition of particular checks on items or operations that that are generally generally of concern concern on site. In this case less less experienced experienced Superintendents can use these Check Lists to provide them with the back up of more experienced officers. Provide one copy of the Check Lists book to the t he Superintendent Superintendent and one copy to the Contractor for the particular project.
HOW TO USE THESE CHECK LISTS
Take photocopies of the relevant Check List sections before going on site and study these. This book of Check Lists is spiral bound to allow pages to be photocopied easily. Mark any items in the Check List that t hat are of particular concern. At the project site, check off the work against the Check Lists and make notes of any action required in the space provided. When the work is completed and the final check has been made sign off and date in the box provided. There is also space to provide provide comments. comments. Keep a record record of all of of the completed Check Lists for future reference reference if required. required. These could prove to be valuable if disputes arise on the project. There is no better way to document actual site conditions or details than by photographs, so don’t forget to take a digital camera on site and take t ake images to go with particular items in the Check lists. FURTHER DEVELOPMENT
If you have any suggestions to improve on these Check Lists or the system in general please contact the Manager Documentation Services, 1 st Floor Highway House, 14 Palmerston Circuit, Palmerston. Tel; (08)894 65021 or email at
