> Established Dimensions: Where field measurements cannot be made
> without delaying the Work, establish dimensions and proceed with
> fabricating units without field measurements. Coordinate supports,
> adjacent construction, and fixture locations to ensure actual
> dimensions correspond to established dimensions.

B.  Coordination: Furnish inserts and anchorages which must be built
    into other work for installation of toilet compartments and related
