Standard Drawings Don't Have Enough Detail
Most shop drawings don't include what QCP inspectors need. Missing grain direction notes, inadequate tolerance dimensions, and incomplete material specs lead to inspection failures that delay production.
QCP Shop Drawings Built to Pass the First Time
Shop drawings built specifically for AWI QCP compliance: grade-specific tolerances, material call-outs, grain matching requirements, and finish specs documented to pass third-party inspection.
Wrong Grade Applied to the Wrong Area
Different projects (or areas within a project) may require different AWI grades. Apply Premium where Custom is specified and you waste budget. Apply Custom where Premium is specified and you fail inspection.
Grade-Accurate Documentation
Every drawing includes explicit grade callouts with the right tolerances, material standards, and aesthetic requirements. We classify surfaces as exposed, semi-exposed, or concealed per AWI definitions and apply the correct criteria to each.
Organized for Inspector Review
Our drawings are structured for QCP inspection: organized by section, clearly labeled with grade requirements, and cross-referenced to applicable ANSI/AWI standards so inspectors can verify compliance efficiently.
- Grade-compliant shop drawings
- Material specification schedules
- Grain matching diagrams
- Tolerance specification sheets
- QCP inspector reference notes
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes QCP drawings different from standard shop drawings?
QCP drawings include explicit AWI grade callouts on every component, grain direction and matching requirements, tolerances per the applicable grade, finish standards per ANSI/AWI 0400, and surface classifications (exposed, semi-exposed, concealed) with the corresponding material requirements.
Can you produce drawings for mixed-grade projects?
Yes. Many projects specify Premium for public-facing areas and Custom for back-of-house. We clearly mark grade boundaries on drawings and apply the correct requirements to each zone so fabrication teams know exactly which standards apply.
How do you handle grain matching in QCP drawings?
We document grain matching per the specified AWI grade. Custom requires vertical grain match within each cabinet unit. Premium requires consistent cathedral grain orientation across the entire project. Our drawings include grain direction arrows, match sequence numbering, and veneer layout plans.
