TRAINING CONTENT

PREPARING FOR QC |ROUGH Stress the importance of review and

coordination of project documentation prior to QC Contract Drawings

All disciplines Coordination Drawings*

Legends, details, unit layout, elevations, etc. Approved Cutsheets/Submittals/Selections

Equipment, Appliances, Fixtures, etc. *References: Pg.4, Rough Best Practices

NOTES:

NAVIGATING THE UNIT

Review the process of effectively navigating the unit: Use a right shoulder approach

Ensure your right shoulder is always aligned with wall

Don’t walk through walls Look at floor markings for door openings and avoid going in between framing

Don’t move to adjoining rooms until the room has been fully inspected Use the same point of entry and exit

Review each room individually prior to the unit as a whole Review homeruns and panel once all rooms have been fully inspected

NOTES:

Ensure the Field Unit Rough Book is fully assembled and inclusive of all necessary project documentation.

Create borders for open concept areas such as kitchens and living rooms.

There are multiple methods to navigating a unit, use the approach that works best for you and your team.

NAVIGATING THE UNIT, cont. |ROUGH

Review the process of effectively navigating

each room: Review electrical components only

Review location and proximity of other trade installation only

Don’t move between components until they have been fully inspected Review the individual installation and circuity only

Begin by reviewing each component from the ceiling to floor Look to the ceiling, not at it

Review ceiling and floor components once walls are complete Assess recessed cans, floor boxes, etc.

NOTES:

Have the trainee identify the path they would take through the unit!
