11 00 00 Equipment: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Equipment specs conflict with architectural floor plans on rough-in locations, utility connections, and clearance requirements.
Most Equipment 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 11 00 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
Rough-in location vs. plan
A frequent equipment 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.
Utility connection conflicts
A frequent equipment 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.
Clearance requirement gaps
A frequent equipment 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
- Equipment rough-in location conflict with architectural plan
- Utility connection type not matching equipment spec
- Required clearance not shown on floor plan
