III. General Construction and Acceptance Standards (to be implemented on the ground, tailored to church settings)
1. Standard Construction Process (Adapted to the Specificities of Church Architecture)
1. Detailed Design (confirming patterns, dimensions, and manufacturing processes; reviewing designs in light of religious symbolism) → 2. Glass processing (tempering) / Laminated + Coloring / Painted + Fine edge grinding, with melting temperature carefully controlled according to traditional manufacturing processes. → 3. On-site measurement verification (church buildings are often irregularly shaped, with errors… ≤1mm ) → 4. Base treatment (steel structure) / Window frame installation, including防腐 (anti-corrosion treatment) and leveling. → 5. High-altitude glass lifting (the dome glass is hoisted using a gantry crane equipped with a traction rope, under the supervision of a dedicated attendant) → 6. Glass installation and fixing (back bolt) / Bracket / Lead cames frame, sealed with sealant) → 7. Installation of protective measures (fall‑prevention nets, anti‑theft grilles) → 8. Cleaning and maintenance (to prevent damage to painted designs) → 9. Acceptance inspection (involving the head of the United Church, the construction contractor, and the supervising agency, with reviews of design, safety, and aesthetics) is conducted throughout in accordance with the principle of integrating the essence of medieval traditional craftsmanship with modern architectural standards.
