06 10 00 Rough Carpentry: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Lumber grade and blocking requirement specs conflict with architectural details on backing location and size.
Most Rough Carpentry 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 06 10 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
Lumber grade vs. architectural detail
A frequent rough carpentry 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.
Blocking location conflicts
A frequent rough carpentry 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.
Moisture content requirements
A frequent rough carpentry 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
- Backing size not matching spec requirement
- Lumber grade not specified in architectural detail
- Moisture content requirement missing from plans
