Start from the consented documents
The guide explains the work, but the live project is controlled by the issued building consent, stamped drawings, specifications, RFIs, Auckland Council requirements, current NZ Building Code documents, and manufacturer instructions.
Recognise what you are seeing
Use the identification tool and drawing library to connect site objects to stages, trades, drawings, common defects, and source checks.
Record evidence as you go
Every stage points to what should be photographed, recorded, asked, escalated, and filed so inspections, CCC, handover, and DLP do not become a scramble.
