Documentation is especially important to verify the firestop installation method during maintenance and service situations. The firestop contractor updates the working plan, which records the implemented firestops and any changes to the design. This ensures that the firestop design remains accurate throughout the entire construction project.
The designer updates the new drawings and approvals in the plan and at the client’s request, provides the final firestop drawings once the firestop construction work is completed. The final firestop drawings and the firestop contractor’s final documentation are incorporated into the building’s maintenance manual.
To ensure quality assurance, all firestops are photographed, and the work is documented in an electronic system. This allows clients and supervisors to track the progress of the project in real time. Both interim and final reports can be generated from the system, making the post-inspection of the project easier.
