What Is a Curtain Wall Inspection Report?

This report documents the inspection of curtain wall components such as frames, glazing, seals, and anchors. It records condition, defects, and observations to ensure weatherproofing and structural integrity before final closure.

Who Uses This Document?

Facade inspectors, architects, and construction managers use this report to verify installation quality and address any issues before the building envelope is sealed.

Key Sections

The report includes inspection information, curtain wall components, defects, observations, photos, and signatures of the inspector, installer, and architect.

Pre-Closure Inspection

Before the final closure of the building envelope, inspectors use this template to check all curtain wall components for proper installation and weatherproofing.

Quality Assurance on Construction Sites

Construction teams use the report to document that the curtain wall meets design specifications and to identify any defects that need correction.

Handover Documentation

The completed report serves as part of the handover documentation, providing evidence that the curtain wall has been inspected and approved.
