Assurance Through Certification
The Woodwork Institute offers to the architect, specifier,
or design professional its expertise and support by offering FREE education,
consultation, and a standardized means of quality control for architectural
millwork.
The two Compliance Programs are Certified
Compliance and Monitored Compliance. These
programs allow the design professional to rest assured that the specified
project will be completed to the level of quality he or she expects.
Certified Compliance Program
(CCP)
An established discipline of quality control for use in
conjunction with the Manual of Millwork providing a non-biased
means of confirming conformance to your plans and specifications.
CCP is a means of confirming the quality you designed. Requiring Certified
Compliance informs everyone that you expect what you have specified, without
bidder discrimination.
Certified shop drawings eliminate the need to check fabrication details; the
Institute does that for you, using your specifications and the GRADE specified.
When receiving certified shop drawings, you are assured they conform to your
specification and the Manual of Millwork requirements; leaving verification
of your design intent as your primary concern.
Evidence of certification is provided by means of an individually serial numbered Shop
Drawing Certified Compliance Label attached to the first page of the original
shop drawing set.
Certified millwork and installation confirms that the furnished and/or installed
millwork products conform to the plans, specifications, and Manual of Millwork for
the GRADE specified. Adding the confidence that you and your client are getting
what was specified and what you’re paying for.
Evidence of certification is provided primarily by issuance of a certified Compliance
Certificate, listing the items certified, the applicable grade and whether
installation is included; additionally each elevation of casework and/or countertops
shall bear an individually serial numbered "Certified Compliance Label," if
so specified.
For general information, see Section 1 in the Manual
of Millwork. For specific policies and procedures, refer to Section
2.
Monitored Compliance Program
(MCP)
An established discipline of quality affirmation for use
in conjunction with the Manual of Millwork providing non-biased
review/inspections of your project from its start to Certification
at completion, without bidder discrimination.
MCP is a means of affirming the quality you designed. Requiring monitored compliance
informs everyone that you are demanding the quality you designed and specified
for your client.
The Institute will issue written progress reports throughout the duration of
the project. The shop drawings, millwork products and installation (of all
involved parties) will progressively be inspected for compliance to your specifications
and the specified GRADE per the Manual of Millwork.
Evidence of monitored compliance is provided by issuance of a Monitored
Compliance Certificate, listing the items certified, the applicable grade
and whether installation is included; additionally each elevation of casework
and/or countertops shall bear an individually serial numbered Certified
Compliance Label.
