PART 3 - EXECUTION
3.01 EXISTING CONDITIONS

otherwise properly prepared. Prior to starting work, notify contractor of defects requiring
correction. Do not start work until conditions are satisfactory.

to backing with countersunk screws. Accurately scribe face plates, filler strips, and trim strips
to adjacent surface irregularities. Accurately construct casework to provide tight joints without
visible gaps or chipped edges. Remove sharp external corners prior to finishing. Allow no
screw mounting in particle board material; provide solid lumber edging strips as required.
