ACCESS DOORS

[Alwayslearningelec]

if the drawings call for access doors pertaining to the EC's(electrical contractor) work I was told the carpenter install but EC pay them for it...is that true? I would say it take them about an hour to install plus the material( about $75). Yes?? Thanks

These doors will be speced on the door schedule and have nothing to do with an EE bid.

They can write anything they want into the spec. Sounds like they want the EC to do the job with little or no access doors otherwise the EC pays for them. Not out of the oridinary IMO.

If you as the EC are doing the full furnish and install of the tele/data and they say on the IT drawings to f&i them... Then what? I guess kinda like plywood for the Telephone rooms?

I would not normally pay for this. I exclude cutting and patching in my proposal and would not expect to pay for the installation of hardware.

I see this as an incentive for the EC to figure out how he will do the installation without have boxes above an inaccessible ceiling. If he chooses not to put any forethought into the job then he pays for it later when access is required.

Exactly.

I agree 100%

What??????????????? I think you must be thinking of something different than access doors!

I agree 100%

And I agree as well. It is quite common to see this in a set of specs.

See it all the time, get a quote from a carp. and be sure you have the right door for the area; they are not cheap.

There may be some confusion between access doors and access hatch....
