26 00 00 Electrical: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Panel schedules, single-line diagrams, and electrical specifications create frequent three-way contradictions that delay rough-in and inspection.
Most Electrical 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 26 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
Panel schedule vs. single-line diagram
A frequent electrical 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.
Conduit size spec vs. plan callout
A frequent electrical 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.
Breaker rating conflicts
A frequent electrical 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
- Panel schedule ampacity mismatch
- Conduit type not matching spec section
- Circuit breaker rating conflict between panel schedule and single-line
