2. Developing detailed design calculations, drawings, materials specifications, and fabrication and inspection procedures meeting code requirements.
3. Implementing the QCSM in the shop and warehouses, and distributing it to all relevant personnel, to ensure all code requirements are met during construction.
4. Scheduling audits by the Authorized Inspector to confirm readiness for joint review and certification.
