Fulcro Quality Framework
QC gates. Defined tolerances. No compromises on standards.
What This Framework Does
- •Defines six mandatory QC gates at critical project milestones
- •Establishes dimensional tolerances for all fabrication and installation work
- •Requires material test certificates and quality verification
- •Enforces digital documentation with timestamped photos at every checkpoint
- •Tracks corrective actions with resolution timelines and re-inspection
Six Mandatory QC Gates
1
Gate 1
Design Review
Inspection Checks:
- Drawing completeness and clarity
- Material specifications verification
- BOQ alignment with design intent
- Scope clarification and documentation
Clearance Required: Design review report with architect/client sign-off
2
Gate 2
Shop Drawing Approval
Inspection Checks:
- Dimensional accuracy vs. site measurements
- Fabrication feasibility assessment
- Material specifications confirmation
- Hardware and fixture schedules
Clearance Required: Approved shop drawings with stamps from architect and client
3
Gate 3
Material Inspection
Inspection Checks:
- Material grade and quality verification
- Test certificates from suppliers
- Visual inspection for defects
- Quantity reconciliation against PO
Clearance Required: Material arrival log with QC approval and photo documentation
4
Gate 4
Factory QC
Inspection Checks:
- Dimensional accuracy per shop drawings
- Finish quality and consistency
- Hardware operation and alignment
- Pre-dispatch packing inspection
Clearance Required: Factory QC checklist completion with supervisor sign-off
5
Gate 5
Site Installation Inspection
Inspection Checks:
- Installation alignment and levelness
- Finish protection and site cleanliness
- Functional testing (doors, drawers, systems)
- Snag list documentation and resolution timeline
Clearance Required: Installation QC approval with photographic evidence
6
Gate 6
Final Handover
Inspection Checks:
- Comprehensive walkthrough with client
- All snags closed with re-inspection
- Warranty documentation provided
- Maintenance guidelines handed over
Clearance Required: Handover certificate with client acceptance signature
Quality Standards & Tolerances
Millwork & Cabinetry
- •Dimensional accuracy: ±2mm on linear dimensions
- •Gap tolerances: 2-3mm for reveal details
- •Levelness: ±1mm per meter run
- •Finish uniformity: No visible color variation within same batch
Lighting Installation
- •Fixture alignment: ±5mm from design intent
- •Lux levels: ±10% of specified design values
- •Dimming curves: Smooth 0-100% without flicker
- •Color temperature: ±200K from specified CCT
AV & Automation
- •Cable management: No visible cables in finished areas
- •System response time: <2 seconds for automation triggers
- •Audio calibration: ±3dB variance across listening zones
- •Network reliability: 99.9% uptime for control systems
Site Works
- •Surface preparation: Clean, dry, level per material requirements
- •Material staging: Protected storage with environmental control
- •Site cleanliness: Daily cleanup and waste segregation
- •Safety compliance: PPE mandatory, accident-free site protocols
How Standards Are Enforced
No Gate, No Progress
Work cannot proceed to the next phase without QC gate clearance and documentation.
Independent Inspectors
QC teams operate independently from execution teams to ensure unbiased inspection.
Digital Audit Trail
Every inspection is timestamped, photographed, and logged for complete traceability.
