    Guide

    How the sequence fits a method statement

    The sequence is the backbone of the method statement. It tells the team the order of work and where work must stop for inspection.

    Method statement
    Describes how an activity is carried out safely and to specification. The sequence sets the order of operations within it.
    Why order matters
    Working out of sequence causes rework and NCRs, for example painting before plaster has cured or waterproofing over an uninspected substrate.
    Hold points
    Work stops until the Engineer inspects and approves. They are marked in amber in the flowchart and the table.
    Witness points
    Tests or activities the Engineer may attend, given notice. Work can continue if they choose not to attend.
    Inspection and test plan
    Each step with an inspection maps to a line in your ITP and an inspection request on site.
    FAQ

    Questions about the civil sequence generator

    Short answers on using the output in method statements and ITPs.

    Are these sequences ready to submit?

    They are typical sequences for building works in the GCC, written as a starting point. Check every step, tolerance and test against your approved specification, drawings and ITP before you submit.

    What do hold point and witness mean?

    A hold point is where work stops until the Engineer inspects and approves it. A witness point is an inspection or test the Engineer is notified of and may attend.

    Can I change the steps?

    Yes. Press Edit these steps to copy the sequence into the custom editor, then add, remove or reword steps. End a line with [H] or [W] to mark an inspection.

    Which exports are available?

    Copy steps (pastes as a table into Word or Excel), Print, Flowchart PNG and a PDF method statement extract with the checklist, flowchart and step table.
