Project Details
A general contractor fitting out a two-floor medical office on the Highway 7 corridor needed one trade to own the Division 8 scope: 34 openings across exam rooms, offices, corridors and stairs, plus the main aluminum entrance.
Scope
- Review the hardware schedule and submit shop drawings and product data
- Supply and set hollow metal frames in steel stud partitions during framing
- Supply and hang solid-core wood and hollow metal doors after paint
- Install six labelled 60-minute fire door assemblies tested to CAN/ULC-S104
- Install the aluminum entrance with closer, deadlock and accessible operator prep
- Install finish hardware per opening and close out with keys and warranties
Outcome
Frames were set in week two of framing, doors were hung after paint, and the hardware schedule was closed out in a single deficiency walk. The GC kept the same crew lead from first submittal to final keys.
Why it worked
Catching frame and hardware conflicts at the submittal stage meant nothing had to be re-ordered on site. One trade owning frames, doors and hardware removed the usual finger-pointing at closeout.
