Quality control before framing: Milestones and timeline — RiverTruss educational resource

Why this matters

Pre-framing quality control gives the team a chance to identify damage, missing pieces, incorrect layout, and document conflicts before the roof is closed in. A credible timeline is built from dependencies and review gates, not from a desired completion date copied into a spreadsheet.

Closing work before the next trade can inspect it makes correction slower and more expensive.

A practical framework

  1. inspect the delivered package
  2. match tags and layout
  3. check bearings and temporary bracing
  4. photograph concealed conditions

Questions to answer

  • Which milestone cannot start until another deliverable is accepted?
  • What review time belongs to a public agency, owner, lender, or supplier?
  • What is the recovery plan if the controlling activity slips?

Common failure modes

  • Showing dates without naming the dependency that makes them possible.
  • Ignoring procurement, review, and decision time.
  • Moving a finish date without showing the cost or scope consequence.
