Temporary partitions, permanent expectations

Watch your temporary partitions during construction and renovation. Make sure the contractor understands the expectations, such as:

  • "Smoke-tight" means, for all intents and purposes, no holes
  • "Debris removal" means removing the debris, not piling it up until it’s in the way

Yes, I know that there are allowable gaps in certain circumstances, but do you want to split hairs with the construction folks over stuff like that? Me neither!
