01 / REVIEW

Capture context first

Take an overall view that identifies the building face and interface. Follow it with the detail view. A close crop without orientation can be impossible to place later, especially when several openings look alike.

02 / REVIEW

Attach a record, not a claim

Record interface ID, date, view direction and drawing revision. Explain what is visible and what remains outside the frame. A photograph is evidence of a visible condition, not proof of every concealed layer or performance characteristic.

03 / REVIEW

Preserve the review trail

Keep the original file and any marked-up copy separately. Record the reviewer’s question or response and whether further evidence is needed. Avoid overwriting an earlier image with a later accepted condition.

A junction coordination study

Concept example: photo W-12-02 shows a head transition before cladding. The record links an elevation locator and notes that the left corner is outside the frame; a second image is requested.

Use the result

Keep the completed review with the relevant project record. Assign unresolved items before relying on a conclusion. If the material, condition or document changes, revisit the affected questions.
