No cracks and warpage No gaps in between timber strips Evenness of surface (not more than 3mm per 1.2m) Consistent skirting thickness and no gap between wall & skirting No stain marks and any visible damage Consistent colour tone
FLOOR: CERAMIC TILES, MARBLE & GRANITETile size should be consistent - within ± 1% or up to 3mm. Surface are even with not more than 3mm over 1.2m and levelled to proper fallsin wet areas like kitchen and toilet. Joints are aligned and consistent with skirting and wall tiles. Consistent joint size. Chipping, cracks, mortar droppings or other stain marks should not be present. No hollow sound when tapped with a hard object. Consistent colour tone. Consistent skirting thickness and no gap between wall & skirting. Lippage between 2 tiles should not exceed 1mm.

INTERNAL WALL: PLASTER FINISHNo visible crack from a distance of 1.5m Surface evenness (not more than 3mm over 1.2m) No hollow sound when tapped with a hard object. No mortar stains or paint drips
INTERNAL WALL: TILED FINISHTile joints aligned and with consistent joint size Evenness of surface with not more than 3mm over 1.2m Tile size consistent - within ± 1% or not more than 3mm Mortar stains or paint drips should not be seen No chips, cracks and other visible damages No hollow sound when tapped with a hard object. Consistent colour tone Consistent and neat pointing

For permanent fixtures which are not covered in the standards, the fundamentals such as evenness, straightness, no stain, verticality, functionality, consistency and no visible damage will still be the basis for assessment. (1),(2),(3),(4)
