Stop if Before this ceiling closes, can you confirm every damper, actuator, cleanout, VAV, and balancing point that needs access in this room? Watch out Stop if a code-required, inspection-required, TAB-required, or maintenance-required access point will be hidden or unreachable. Check Mark access needs before the ceiling closes. Keep panels aligned and usable. Confirm labels are visible and permanent where required. Open the panel/door once after install to verify real access. Take photos of hidden devices before closeout.
