Part 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 PROJECT CONDITIONS:

    A. Field Measurements: Verify actual locations of walls and other construction contiguous with metal fabrications by field measurements before fabrication. Indicate field measurements on final shop drawings.

    B. Established Dimension: Where field measurements cannot be made without delaying the Work, establish dimensions and proceed with fabricating handrails and railings without field measurements. Coordinate construction to ensure that actual dimensions correspond to established dimensions.

3.2. INSTALLATION:

    A. Install work in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
