Installation & the field
How to prove what was installed on a guaranteed-dimensions job
On guaranteed-dimensions work you must prove you built to the issued numbers. That means locked revisions, clear labels, crate maps, and product records you can pull in minutes — not a file-server archaeology project. Spectr keeps that digital footprint on each product.
Key facts
- Spectr’s manufacturing article describes GD jobs as a documentation game.
- “We built Panel A-237 to Revision C dated March 15” should be a lookup.
- Photos and scans support the story; they do not replace the issued record.
- Generic ERPs that stop at shipping leave you naked in a dispute.
How shops handle this
- Lock the issued revision on the product
No quiet shop-floor redraws. - Label to the mark
The wall and the record must agree. - Keep crate and ship history
Chain of custody for the piece. - Scan install
Done means hung to that record.
Common questions
Is this only for GD?
Field-measure jobs need it too — plus the ability to absorb site changes. GD just makes the paper the contract.
How long do we keep it?
At least through the warranty conversation you know is coming.
