10 22 19 Demountable Partitions: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Demountable partition specs frequently conflict with structural drawings on ceiling attachment method and load requirements.
Most Demountable Partitions 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 10 22 19 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
Ceiling attachment vs. structural capacity
A frequent demountable partitions 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.
STC rating conflicts
A frequent demountable partitions 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.
Power and data integration gaps
A frequent demountable partitions 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
- Ceiling attachment method not meeting structural capacity
- STC rating conflict between partition spec and architectural requirement
- Power/data integration not coordinated with electrical spec
