Surveys and existing conditions
Targeted surveys record accessible geometry, interfaces and visible conditions against the location, date and current project information, with concealed or unverified areas stated.
Surveys, inspections and site coordination
A site observation is useful only when it can be located, checked and closed.
ALM connects observations to the current design, acceptance criteria, actions and responsible people.

What the record must show
Focused observation, not generic site reporting.
Inspection and test plans
ITPs identify substrates, support positions, fixings, membranes, insulation, cavity barriers, interfaces and finishes that require records, witness points or hold points.
Construction quality control
Site inspections compare sampled work with the relevant drawing, specification, product requirement and acceptance criterion, with location and revision recorded.
Progress and evidence
Structured records show what was observed, what remains concealed or unverified, and which items need correction, design review or further evidence.
Non-conformance and design change
Departures are assessed through the correct technical route before acceptance. ALM records design implications without replacing the Principal Contractor's health-and-safety or quality-management duties.

Agree what is being checked, where it is and how the action closes.
Current project basis
Current approved information, ITP requirements, programme, access plan, installation sequence and known quality concerns.
Reviewable outputs
ITPs, inspection reports, photographic records, action schedules, design queries and close-out recommendations.
The right point to appoint
Before works start, at agreed hold points, during quality recovery, or before relevant work becomes inaccessible.
