If you arrive somewhere or do something on the dot, you arrive there or do it at exactly the time that you were supposed to.

If you say that someone dots the i's and crosses the t's, you mean that they pay great attention to every small detail in a task; often used to express your annoyance because such detailed work seems unnecessary and takes a very long time.
