<br />noted.
<br />The general contractor must verify the availability of all specified products and notify 369 Architects Inc.
<br />immediately of any discrepancies affecting the project completion date. Note that some products may
<br />require a two to six-week lead time, and long lead items must be reported to 369 Architects Inc. promptly.
<br />All surfaces must be properly prepared with a sealer prior to the installation of wall coverings. Wall coverings
<br />must be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
<br />When doors and frames are being reused, the contractor must refinish them, ensuring all scratches and dings
