AWI Quality Certification Program

AWI Quality CertificationThe AWI Quality Certification Program (QCP) is a valuable quality assurance tool that ensures custom, interior architectural woodwork, one of the most highly visible aspects of many construction projects. Additionally, it is endorsed by the American Subcontractors Association (ASA).

Certification credentials are earned by woodworking firms who, through comprehensive testing and inspection, demonstrate the ability to fabricate, finish and/or install work in accordance with the quality grade criteria set forth in the Architectural Woodwork Standards (AWS).

The Architectural Woodwork Institute first published the Architectural Woodwork Quality Standards Illustrated in 1961. Furthermore, it evolved over the years into the Eighth Edition and served as the authoritative resource for specifying interior architectural woodwork.

It is the mission of the QCC to verify, inspect, and report compliance with published woodwork industry standards. In conclusion, it is the vision of the QCP to be the recognized compliance assurance process for the architectural woodwork industry.
