It is a test, not a presentation
The mock-up exists to find problems while they are cheap. Every dimension that had to be adjusted, every fixing that was awkward and every service that arrived in the wrong place is information the rollout needs.
What has to be signed off
- Dimensional tolerance between the structure and the manufactured items
- Services positions against the reflected ceiling plan
- Access to every maintainable item without damaging a finish
- Bathroom falls, drainage and waterproofing
- Lighting levels, colour temperature and control scenes
- Acoustic performance at the corridor door and between rooms
- Durability of finishes against the operator cleaning regime
- Installation sequence and the time each stage took
Record the cycle time
The most valuable output of a mock-up is the measured time to build it once the crew is trained. That figure, not an estimate, should drive the rollout programme.
Freeze what has been approved
After sign-off, changes should be recorded, priced and re-approved. A quiet substitution after the benchmark is the most common cause of inconsistency across a floor.
