About Us

The 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. It is endorsed by the General Services Administration (GSA) and 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 Quality Standards Illustrated (QSI) book.

Published by the Architectural Woodwork Institute since 1961, the QSI is the authoritative reference for fine interior architectural woodwork. Now in it’s 8th edition, the QSI contains 685 pages of standards demonstrated by technical and design illustrations. It covers architectural woodwork from raw lumber and veneer through factory finishing and installation.

To order a copy of the QSI, visit the AWI website, www.awinet.org or click here. All applicant firms and AWI members receive a copy of the QSI free (a $100 value.)
