1. Schedule construction operations in the sequence required to obtain the best results where the installation of one part of the Work depends on installation of other components before or after that part.

2. Coordinate installation of different components to provide maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service, testing and repair.

3. Minimize roof penetrations.

B. Notification: Prepare and distribute memoranda to each party involved, outlining special procedures required for coordination. Include notices, reports and meeting minutes as part of the memoranda.

C. Administrative Procedures: Coordinate scheduling and timing of administrative procedures with other construction activities to avoid conflicts and promote orderly progress of the Work.

2. Indicate required installation sequences.

3. Indicate minimum access space requirements for routine maintenance and for anticipated replacement of components during the life of the installation.
