28 00 00 Electronic Safety and Security: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Security system specs conflict with architectural plans on device locations, power requirements, and conduit routing.
Most Electronic Safety and Security 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 28 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
Device location vs. architectural plan
A frequent electronic safety and security 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 requirement conflicts
A frequent electronic safety and security 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 routing gaps
A frequent electronic safety and security 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
- Security device location not matching architectural plan
- Power requirement not coordinated with electrical spec
- Conduit routing not shown on plans
