How to handle field measurement changes
Field-measure work means the structure will disagree with the model. The shop needs the new dimension on the same product record — not a text with a photo of a tape. Spectr is built to connect field crews and the office so those changes are visible immediately.
Key facts
- Spectr’s facade article treats FM jobs as live coordination, not ship-and-forget.
- A dimension change is a revision, even if the architect never issued a pretty cloud.
- Already-fabricated panels need a disposition: rework, remake, or use elsewhere.
- Barcode tracking through install is how you know which marks are affected.
How shops handle this
- Capture the condition in the app
Photo plus mark plus note. Not a hallway rumour. - Update the product and the cut
Engineering owns the number. The floor owns the next blank. - Do not ship the old one “to see”
That is how you pay freight twice. - Re-sequence if the zone is blocked
The shop should work a live phase list.
Common questions
Who pays for the remake?
The record helps the commercial argument. The system’s job is to make the argument factual.
Can installers edit the BOM?
They should raise the change. Issuing a new cut should stay controlled.
