Identify all Division 11 equipment from specifications and equipment schedules 2. Determine procurement responsibility (CFCI, OFCI, OFOI) for each item 3. Coordinate with equipment consultants (food service, lab planner, equipment planner) 4. Review utility requirements and verify MEP design accommodates all equipment 5. Identify structural requirements (floor loading, vibration, shielding) 6. Establish equipment delivery schedule aligned with construction schedule ### Construction Phase 1. Verify rough-in locations using equipment cut sheets and shop drawings 2. Install blocking, supports, and structural accommodations 3. Coordinate specialty construction (shielding, walk-in panels, hoods) 4. Manage equipment deliveries (staging, storage, protection, rigging) 5. Complete final utility connections 6. Coordinate vendor installations ### Closeout Phase 1. Equipment startup and testing 2. Manufacturer certifications (fume hoods, BSCs, refrigeration) 3. Regulatory inspections (health department, state licensing) 4. Owner training 5. O&M manuals and warranty documentation ## Related Skills - **mechanical-plumbing-systems** - Kitchen ventilation, lab exhaust, plumbing connections - **electrical-systems** - Power, data, low-voltage coordination - **fire-protection-systems** - Kitchen suppression, trash chute sprinklers - **structural-trades** - Heavy equipment support, shielding construction - **interior-finishes-trades** - Blocking, casework coordination - **specialties-division-10** - Related Division 10 items - **doors-frames-hardware** - Lead-lined doors, detention hardware - **quality-control-closeout** - Commissioning and turnover procedures - **procore-project-management** - Submittal and procurement tracking ## Common Issues & Solutions | Issue | Prevention | Resolution | |-------|------------|------------| | Late equipment delivery | Build float into schedule, track procurement early | Expedite, adjust sequence, protect utilities | | Utility rough-in mismatch | Review cut sheets before rough-in, verify locations | Relocate utilities before finishes | | Structural capacity inadequate | Early coordination with structural engineer | Reinforce, redistribute loads | | Equipment won't fit through doors | Plan delivery route during design | Temporary opening, disassembly | | Health department rejection | Pre-inspection consultation, plan review | Address deficiencies, re-inspect | | Shielding gaps (radiology) | Quality installation, physicist review | Add shielding, re-survey | | Vendor installation delays | Clear access schedule, utility readiness | Escalate to owner, expedite |
