QM Practices for Project Managers

PRE CHECKS Tolerances/ Acceptable Ranges / Codes

(A) Check for Shop Drawings & Engineering Design
1 Submissions includes
1.1 Shop Drawing
1.2 Engg. Design Report
1.3 Specifications
1.4 Sample & Mockup
2 Shop drawings shall mention
2.1 Codes followed
Plans, Section, Elevations showing spacing between members
and loacation of Glass Panels, Spandrel Panels and Openable
2.2 panels

All details of
(a) Joinery details
(b) Framing Details
(c) Sealant locations
2.1 (d) Spandrel and Openable Panels
2.4 Profiles of each Al. sections
3 Engineering Calculations shall mention:
3.1 Design Wind Pressure Min 150 kg/ sqm (or as per recommendations)
3.2 Static and Dynamic Loads As per IS 875 (Part 1 & 3)
L/175 or 19mm for Wind Load
3.3 Net deflection of Al Structural members L/300 or 3mm for Dead Load
3.4 Allowable Design Stress for glass As per IS 16231 (Part 3)
4 Sample & Mockup
4.1 Sample of Sealant, accessories etc.
4.2 Mock-up of 300mm X 300mm
(B) Material Inspection

1 All materials shall conform to specifications and Approved makes

PROCESS CHECKS Tolerances/ Acceptable Ranges / Codes
(C) Check for/ Ensure Surface Preparation and Evenness
1 Confirm sound concrete at edge
2 Alignmennt of RCC members Tolerance ± 30mm
(D) Check for Alignment
1 Plumb Line (Vertical Members) 2mm per 3.2m length, 3mm in total run
2 Level (Horizontal Members) 2mm per 3.2m length, 3mm in total run
(E) Check for Fastners
Appropriate number of fasteners fixed with appropriate
1 frequency
2 Size and brand of the fastener same as per the specification
3 Spacing of fastners as per drawings
4 Fastener fully gone deep and not peeping out
(F) Check for Frame / Mullions
Appropriate number of mullions fixed with appropriate
1 frequency
2 Size and brand of the Mullion same as per the specification
3 Alignmnent of members w.r.t slab edge as per drawings max. offset 1.5mm
(F) Check for Glass, Spandrel and Openable panels
1 All panels are as per specifications
2 Location of each panel as per Elevation in shop drawings
3 Offset between glass and frame max. offset 1mm
4 Review Test Reports for water and air penetration
(G) Check for Sealants

1 Review Manufacturers test for sealant on adhesion and staining

2 Review Pre-construction field test on sealants
Review field test (hose test for water leakage) conducted by
2 fabricators during execution Start as early as 5% installation
POST CHECKS Tolerances/ Acceptable Ranges / Codes
(H) All members/ Panels are as per drawings
1 Glass Panels
2 Spandrel Panels
2 Openable Panels
(I) Are all opening and Closing functions smooth?
(J) Is hardware locking smooth?
(K) Are openable panels seal/leakage proof?
(L) Are gaps properly filled with sealant
1 Al frame to Al frame
2 Mullion to Glass
3 Glass to Glass
(M) Any damage/need for corrective actions
1 Breakage
2 Scratches
