Field guide

Standardise the minimum evidence pack per door.

Shared identity, checklist outcomes, severity, notes and photos so every inspector produces comparable records on repeat visits.

Identity Outcomes Photos Audit trail

Comparable records are how quotes, remedials and exports stay honest across inspectors and months.

Four pillars

Checklist · what good looks like
Door ID + location
Stable scheme · no ad-hoc labels
Checklist order
Same components · same sequence
Outcomes + severity
Shared fail sets · not free text only
Photos + trail
Linked at capture · not loose folders
Timing
Duration on door · proves thoroughness
Overrides
Named waiver · not blank passes

The long guide below walks each pillar with examples and pitfalls.

Train on one sample building — then review exports side by side before you scale headcount.

On record

Inspection · FD-088 · Level 3
09:41Opened door · checklist started
09:43Fail logged · hinge line · photo attached
09:45Severity set · action required
09:46Saved · visible in register + exports
09:47Supervisor spot-check logged
10:05Next door opened · same checklist template

That density of timestamps and links is what audit questions usually ask for.

Sparse trails read as rushed — even when the work was fine.

Before you export

QA · handover readiness
Every fail has a photo or explicit waiver rule
Door IDs match floorplan pins and register
Notes are short, factual, not chat
Scroll the guide for FAQ + related workflows
Severity vocabulary matches glossary + quotes
No “TBC” outcomes on life-safety fails
