09 91 23 Interior Painting: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Finish schedules and paint spec sections routinely conflict on sheen level, product specification, and surface preparation requirements.
Most Interior Painting 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 09 91 23 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.
