B MONITOR CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS.
1 During site visits, observe that installation related requirements of the luminaire specification are being executed. Field reports may be submitted after each visit.
2 Respond to questions (Requests for Information - RFI) from the field in a timely manner so as not to jeopardize the Project’s schedule. Advise promptly if there is insufficient or incomplete information which is necessary in order to respond.
C ASSIST ON THE OWNER/CLIENT’S BEHALF, WHEN REQUESTED, TO RESOLVE INCONSISTENCIES OR PROBLEMS.
1 Contact manufacturer’s to verify shipment schedules and, if possible, obtain better delivery dates. Note: It is important that the contractor know that it is with the owner/client’s permission that you are providing this service.
2 Request that manufacturers copy you on any project correspondence with the team, distributor and contractor, if appropriate. This will give advance notice of any delivery or availability problems.
3 Request that the construction manager/project manager copy you on construction reports, if appropriate, to assist in foreseeing possible problems.

GUIDELINES FOR SPECIFICATION INTEGRITY
CONSIDERATIONS
2 Try to use regional lighting products if possible to show support for locally based manufacturer’s and their products and to be sensitive to local influences, as appropriate.
3 Speak to the Facilities Management staff to understand their lighting needs and maintenance issues.
4 Phasing the project could be an issue and the design may need to allow for this (eg. various contractors and procurement issues, construction techniques, and/or compatibility issues with the 1st Phase being constructed, such as dimming/controls systems, appearance of downlight trims and finishes, custom work, etc.)
