Field checklist

Ask Foreman

Hey boss, I’m on code & compliance and need verification before I touch this: What documentation does the Fire Marshal need when inspecting smoke dampers? Do you want me to stop here and check the approved detail, submittal, or inspector/manufacturer requirement first?
