Verify material substitutions with the COTR prior to application and installation.

C. Examination: Examine existing conditions prior to commencing work including elements subject to damage or movement during cutting and patching. Beginning of cutting and patching means acceptance of existing conditions.

D. Preparation: Provide temporary support of work to be cut.

E. Performance: Employ skilled workers to perform cutting and patching. In general, use hand or small power tools designed for sawing and grinding, not hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots as small as possible, neatly to size required, and with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces. Temporarily cover openings when not in use.
