Verification Checklist

Structured verification ordered by disqualification power. Each document is paired with what to observe on-site and what consistency checks to apply.

Educational Tool: This checklist is for educational and self-assessment purposes. It does not constitute professional verification, audit or certification. Document requirements vary by jurisdiction and building type.

Check before construction and fitout. · 11 documents
Structural Design Report Verify DQ: High Non-Inferable

Building has been designed to withstand specified loads including dead, live, wind and seismic per BNBC.

What to Observe On-Site
Compare visible column sizes/spacing to structural drawings. Count floors against report. Note any visible structural modifications not reflected in the report.
Consistency Checks
Floor count must match architectural drawings. Foundation type must match soil investigation recommendations. Building footprint must match site plan.

Construction of the building has been authorised by the relevant development authority.

N/A — document only, no physical observation paired.
Consistency Checks
Plot number must match title deed. Approved floors must match structural design report. Setback dimensions must match architectural drawings. Applicant name should match title deed holder or authorised representative.
Fire NOC (Design Stage) Sight DQ: Medium

Fire safety provisions in the building design meet FSCD requirements for the building type and height.

N/A — document only, no physical observation paired.
Commissioning Report Sight DQ: Medium

Building systems have been tested, balanced and verified to operate as designed under various conditions.

What to Observe On-Site
Check that commissioned systems (HVAC, fire, electrical) are operational. Verify BMS shows live data for systems listed in commissioning scope.

Building design has been reviewed and approved by the development authority for code compliance.

What to Observe On-Site
Count visible floors against approved drawing. Measure setbacks at ground level. Compare building footprint to site plan. Check that main entrance, stairwell positions, and corridor widths match drawings.
Electrical Installation Certificate Verify DQ: Medium Non-Inferable

Electrical installation has been completed, tested and meets wiring regulation requirements.

What to Observe On-Site
Verify RCD presence at distribution boards matches certificate schedule. Read transformer nameplate against stated sanctioned load. Check earthing visible at main switchboard.
Consistency Checks
Sanctioned load must match or exceed actual connected load. Distribution board schedule must account for all floors. Earthing system type must match earth resistance test report.
Fire Protection System As-Built Drawings Verify DQ: Medium Non-Inferable

Fire protection systems (sprinkler, alarm, suppression) have been installed as designed with any field modifications recorded.

What to Observe On-Site
Verify sprinkler head spacing in one zone matches drawings. Check fire alarm panel zone labels match as-built zone plan. Confirm riser locations match drawings.

Concrete used in construction meets the specified compressive strength at 7 and 28 days.

N/A — document only, no physical observation paired.
Pile Load Test Report Verify DQ: Medium

Foundation piles have been tested and confirmed to carry the design load with acceptable settlement.

N/A — document only, no physical observation paired.

Water supply and drainage systems have been pressure tested and are leak-free.

N/A — document only, no physical observation paired.

Reinforcement steel meets specified grade, yield strength, tensile strength and elongation requirements.

N/A — document only, no physical observation paired.
