Quality Control Points - Site Visit

Once you bring the module on site, we will verify the following. The purpose is to determine the uniformity with which applicants can produce modules and if that depends on the build experience of the applicant:

1. Fastener schedule - 12" in the field (mid stud), 6" on the four edges
2. Total number of fasteners used
3. How much does the OSB stick out at maximum on each edge?
   1. Right edge:
   2. Left edge:
   3. Top edge:
   4. Bottom edge:
4. Actual dimensions of the wall module - based on your documented measurements. This evaluates the inaccuracy of dimensional lumber when sourced in different locations - or whether the module has expanded/contracted due to moisture or shipping. This helps us to adjust for any necessary quality control based on irregularities of lumber sourcing.
   1. Width:
   2. Height:
   3. Cross diagonal distance between corners - bottom left and upper right corner:
   4. Cross diagonal distance between corners - - and bottom right and upper left corner:
   5. Thickness: (should be about 6" thick, but document this please)
5. Actual dimensions of the OSB
6. After you do this - to acceptable standards - you are an officially Wall Module Build Certified - with a level based on the scale of 1-10 for build speed and effectiveness. We will attach a score to your result according to a mutually defined scale - where you and OSE collaborate on determining what each level (1-10) should require - and you will score yourself accordingly. 10 is a perfect result (within 1/8" absolute tolerance everywhere for all parts). A point is taken off for every mis-tolerance. There is currently no minimum score that would be required for acceptance, as long as there is strong evidence that you would be able to correct any mistakes or make continuous improvement in the future.
