06 40 00 Architectural Woodwork: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Millwork specs conflict with architectural elevations on profile, material, and finish requirements.
Most Architectural Woodwork 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 40 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
Profile vs. architectural elevation
A frequent architectural woodwork 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.
Material spec conflicts
A frequent architectural woodwork 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.
Finish requirement gaps
A frequent architectural woodwork 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
- Millwork profile not matching architectural elevation
- Material specification conflict between spec and elevation
- Finish requirement not specified on elevation
