02 41 00 Demolition: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Demolition scope described in Division 02 specs frequently conflicts with existing conditions shown on architectural and structural drawings.
Most Demolition contradictions trace to the same root: the specification and the drawings are produced by different people at different stages, and never fully reconciled before the set goes out. By the time the conflict is found in the field, it is an RFI, a delay, or a change order.
Lintel cross-references section 02 41 00 against your full drawing set, schedules, and the rest of the project manual, flagging every disagreement with a citation to the exact page so it is resolved in review.
Common contradiction types
Demo plan vs. spec scope
A frequent demolition conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Hazmat handling conflicts
A frequent demolition conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Salvage requirement gaps
A frequent demolition conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Frequent RFIs
- Demo scope not matching plan extent
- Asbestos abatement spec not referenced on demo plan
- Salvage items not listed in spec
