Stop if

Hold point on ceiling access panel for hidden devices: I have the location, photo, drawing/detail/spec/submittal, and what I checked. Who should verify before this gets covered, tested, started, labeled, or turned over?

Watch out

Do not cover life-safety/service devices without approved access. Do not assume ceiling contractor will add panels later.
