6. Limitations & Considerations
- Not a substitute for engineering judgment – The checklist catches common items but cannot handle every unique condition (e.g., post-tensioning, ultra-high-performance concrete, special seismic systems).
- Does not cover formwork or falsework – That is typically addressed by ACI 347 or separate checklists.
- Requires discipline – The PDF is most effective when filled out honestly and dated/signed by the reviewer.
Standardization: Encouraging the use of standard bar sizes and lengths to reduce waste and fabrication costs.
