Architectural Duct Mockup and Installed Work Do Not Match
Pause repetitive installation and compare the work with the approved mockup for joint orientation, fastener pattern, hanger appearance, seam direction, finish, and clearances.
The installed exposed duct uses a different screw pattern and hanger finish than the approved mockup. I documented both. Which condition controls before the crew continues this area?
Watch out
Do not continue hundreds of feet based on “close enough” or alter the approved mockup without documented direction.
Check
Photograph the mockup and installed condition from matching views.
List each difference without assuming which is acceptable.
Check approved finish notes and submittals.
Confirm the correction standard before more work repeats the mismatch.
