Inspection template for scoring completed field installations and repairs against workmanship standards, manufacturer specifications, and applicable safety requirements before customer acceptance.

Inspection Identification and Scope

• Job or work order identified
  Record the work order, project number, or service ticket being inspected.
• Installation or repair scope matches inspection scope
  Verify the completed work being inspected matches the approved scope and location.
• Applicable drawings, specifications, and manufacturer instructions available

• Inspection date and inspector name recorded
  Capture when the audit was performed and by whom.

Workmanship and Installation Quality

• Materials and components installed per specification
  Installed materials, parts, and accessories match the approved specification and product requirements.
• Alignment, level, plumb, and fit are within acceptable tolerance

  Finished joints, seams, and repairs are continuous, properly tooled, and free of visible voids or excess material.
• Surface finish is free of visible damage, contamination, or poor workmanship
  Rate the visible finish quality of the completed work.

Functional Verification

• Equipment, system, or repaired item operates correctly
  Verify the completed work functions as intended during normal operation or test conditions.
• No abnormal noise, vibration, leakage, or movement observed
  Check for operational defects that indicate poor workmanship or incomplete repair.
• Controls, switches, closures, or interfaces respond properly
  Verify user-facing controls and interfaces operate smoothly and as expected.

Safety and Code Compliance
