A modular project is inspected at multiple stages by different parties for different purposes. The owner’s quality plan should connect approved documents, factory evidence, site inspections, delivery condition, set interfaces, system testing, corrections, warranties, and final acceptance.

Working worksheet
Record these fields in the same working document so the decision can be reviewed and handed off:
- Item and location
- Requirement or reference
- Observed condition
- Responsible party and due date
- Verification evidence
Common failure patterns
- Assuming a code signoff is a complete contract-quality inspection
- Waiting until finishes conceal interfaces
- Closing punch items from promises rather than verification
