Inspection Checkpoints

Each hold point [HP] requires documented sign-off before proceeding. Work must stop at each [HP]. Skipping a hold point voids acoustic performance warranty.

10-Phase Inspection Gates

These inspection checkpoints match the 10 phases in the Installation Sequence. Each [HP] hold point is a mandatory stop — no work proceeds until sign-off is documented.

1 — Prep & Demo[HP] Column isolation planStructural engineerColumn isolation approach drawing10mm clearance confirmed at COL_W and COL_E
