installation areas. If woodwork must be stored in other than
installation areas, store only in areas whose environmental conditions
meet requirements specified in Article 1.06, "Project Conditions."

## 1.06 PROJECT CONDITIONS

A. Environmental Limitations: Do not deliver or install woodwork until
building is enclosed, wet-work is completed, and HVAC system is
operating and will maintain temperature and relative humidity at
occupancy levels during the remainder of the construction period.

B. Field Measurements: Where woodwork is indicated to be fitted to other
construction, check actual dimensions of other construction by accurate
field measurements before fabrication, and show recorded measurements on
final shop drawings. Coordinate fabrication schedule with construction
progress to avoid delaying Work.

1\. Verify locations of concealed framing, blocking, reinforcements, and
furring that support woodwork by accurate field measurements before
being enclosed. Record measurements on final shop drawings.

2\. Where field measurements cannot be made without delaying Work,
guarantee dimensions for accurate fit and proceed with fabricating
woodwork without field measurements. Provide allowance for trimming at
site and coordinate construction to ensure that actual dimensions
correspond to guaranteed dimensions.

1.07 COORDINATION
