Electrical rough-in will conflict with fire-sprinkler mains unless the trades coordinate above the corridor ceiling. What should the GC do?
Correct Answer
B) Coordinate layout and sequencing before installation so rework is avoided
Field operations require coordination of trades before work is installed in conflicting locations.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Field operations require coordination of trades before work is installed in conflicting locations.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: Install both systems immediately and correct conflicts after ceiling closure
Install both systems immediately and correct conflicts after ceiling closure may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the trade coordination exposure being tested.
Option C: Let the first trade on site control all other work without review
Let the first trade on site control all other work without review may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the trade coordination exposure being tested.
Option D: Wait until the certificate of occupancy meeting to resolve the conflict
Wait until the certificate of occupancy meeting to resolve the conflict may relate to another site control, but it does not remove or guard the trade coordination exposure being tested.
