 Environmental Limitations: Do not deliver or install woodwork until building

is enclosed, wet work is complete in installation areas. If woodwork must be
stored in other than installation areas, store only in areas where
environmental conditions comply requirements specified in Project
Conditions Article.

 Avoid woodwork to install until building is enclosed, wet work is complete

and HVAC system is operating and maintaining temperature and relative
humidity at levels planned for building occupants during remainder of the
construction period.

 Ensure woodwork to fit and verify actual dimensions of other construction

by accurate field measurements before fabrication of woodwork.

 Locate concealed framing, blocking, and reinforcements that support

woodwork and coordinate construction to ensure that actual dimension
corresponds to establish dimensions.

 Field Measurements: Where woodwork is indicated to fit to other

construction, verify dimensions of other construction by field measurements
before fabrication, and indicate measurements on shop drawings.

 Coordinate fabrication schedule with construction progress to avoid delaying

the work.

a. Locate concealed framing, blocking, and reinforcements that

support woodwork by field measurements before being enclosed,
and indicate measurements on shop drawings.

b. Established Dimensions: Where field measurements cannot be

made without delaying the work, establish dimensions and proceed
with fabricating woodwork without field measurements. Provide
allowance for trimming at site, and coordinate construction to
ensure that actual dimensions correspond to establish dimensions.

 Any other coordination required with other trades and finishes of other
packages will have to be done.
