Why RYL?

When you reference the RYL service in your tender documents and contracts, all contractors receive the same quality requirements at once, making tendering easier and bids more comparable.

You do not need to repeatedly create detailed requirements for every work phase from project to project.

RYL also simplifies the preparation of project-specific documents (building specifications and work descriptions), reducing the need to repeat the same requirements across multiple projects.

Designer – Ensure Interior Work Quality in the Design Phase

An architect prepares the building specification for a new office building. The plans define the intended use of spaces, materials, and surface finishes.

Instead of drafting detailed technical quality requirements for every interior work item, the architect can simply refer to SisäRYL requirements in the building specification.

When contractors carry out the work, SisäRYL serves as an objective framework for quality requirements. This helps ensure that the client receives a consistent and contractually agreed level of quality.

Benefits for Designers

• Saves time and effort when documenting quality requirements
• Eliminates ambiguity between design and execution
• Supports clients in achieving project objectives
• Reduces the risk of claims and additional costs

Client and Developer – Avoid Errors in Contracts and Tender Documents

A developer is planning the construction of a commercial building. Tender documents define the scope of work, schedule, and project-specific requirements.

Instead of drafting detailed technical requirements for every work phase, the tender documentation can reference SisäRYL quality requirements.

When construction contracts are signed, SisäRYL becomes part of the contractual documentation, ensuring that every contractor commits to the same industry-recognized quality standards.

Benefits for Clients and Developers

• Clarity and transparency during tendering
• A clear framework for contracts
• Reduced risk of disputes
• Supports keeping projects on schedule and within budget

Main Contractors and Subcontractors – Confidence in Execution

The main contractor manages the execution of interior works and employs subcontractors for activities such as painting and tiling.

Rather than each contractor interpreting requirements differently, all work is carried out according to SisäRYL. This provides a clear benchmark for quality and working methods.

Benefits for Contractors

• Clear guidance for execution and workmanship
• Consistent quality expectations across trades
• Fewer misunderstandings and corrections
• Better coordination between project participants

Supervisors and Inspectors – An Impartial Tool for Quality Assessment

A supervisor verifies that interior works comply with contracts and the client’s objectives.

Instead of relying solely on visual impressions, SisäRYL provides precise criteria for aspects such as surface flatness, dimensional accuracy, and installation methods.

Benefits for Supervisors and Inspectors

• Objective benchmark for quality assessment
• Clear reference point in case of disputes
• Ensures the agreed quality level is achieved
• Simplifies documentation and reporting

Material Suppliers – Support Product Selection and Use

A material supplier provides flooring products and acoustic panels for construction projects.

When products meet SisäRYL quality requirements—for example regarding durability, fire classification, or surface classification—the supplier can demonstrate their suitability to clients and contractors.

Benefits for Material Suppliers

• Product quality is easier to verify and justify
• Supports decision-making by contractors and designers
• Helps ensure the client receives the agreed quality level
• Simplifies documentation and approval processes
