Inspection/Requirements management

With the recent merge of Synchro Inspection configurarion, hierarchy configuration and inspection groups. Both available under Project and Build

( We are still waiting to have the full fonctional deploy features)


It would be really handy to allow project participant to browse the hierarchy structure in the same way we can navigate the folder structure.

Under work, inspection we have: My inspections, All inspections, which display forms as a list.


If we could have two more tabs: Hierarchy Tree and hierarchy inspection group.

Additionnaly, we could have a view base on a hierarchy category, as each elements to be inspected could be categorize using a hierarchy category.

The global idea behind this, is to give full autonomy to the QA departement in configuring, administrating and conducting their activities without needs to get access to the Admin panel.


Colateral request, find a way to merge comply pro ( requirements management and Inspection into a global QA module commonly refer to Requirement management.

🔍 What is Requirements Management?

Requirements management is the process of capturing, analyzing, documenting, validating, and tracking the needs and expectations of stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of a project. It ensures that the final deliverables meet the intended purpose and that changes are controlled and traceable.

🏗️ In AEC Projects

In AEC, requirements management helps align the design, construction, and operation phases with:

  • Client expectations (e.g., building performance, sustainability goals)

  • Regulatory compliance (e.g., building codes, safety standards)

  • Technical specifications (e.g., materials, systems, BIM requirements)


🏭 In Manufacturing Projects

  • In manufacturing, requirements management ensures that the product design and production processes meet:

  • Functional requirements (what the product must do)

  • Performance requirements (how well it must do it)

  • Compliance requirements (industry standards, safety regulations)


🔄 Key Activities in Requirements Management

  1. Elicitation – Gathering needs from stakeholders, users, regulations, etc.

  2. Documentation – Writing clear, testable, and traceable requirements.

  3. Validation – Ensuring requirements are feasible and aligned with goals.

  4. Change Management – Handling updates without losing control or traceability.

  5. Traceability – Linking requirements to design, tests, and deliverables.

🧪 What is an Inspection Plan in Project Context?

An inspection plan is a structured document or digital workflow that defines what needs to be inspected, when, how, and by whom—to ensure that project deliverables meet quality, safety, and compliance requirements.


🔧 In Manufacturing Projects:

  • Focuses on product quality and process control

  • Includes inspection points during production (e.g., dimensional checks, material tests)

  • Often tied to ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or Six Sigma practices

🏗️ In AEC Projects:

  • Ensures construction quality, code compliance, and client specifications

  • Covers materials, installations, workmanship, and system commissioning

  • May be linked to BIM models, specifications, or regulatory approvals


📋 Key Components of an Inspection Plan

Element

Description

Inspection Item

What is being inspected (e.g., concrete pour, HVAC unit, weld)

Acceptance Criteria

Standards or tolerances to meet (e.g., ASTM, CSA, project specs)

Inspection Method

How it will be verified (visual, measurement, test, etc.)

Frequency

When and how often (e.g., per batch, per floor, per milestone)

Responsible Party

Who performs or witnesses the inspection (contractor, QA, third party)

Documentation

Forms, photos, reports, or digital records (e.g., via ProjectWise or BIM)

Non-Conformance Handling

What happens if it fails (e.g., rework, NCR, escalation)
