Construction problems and solutions SITUATION 2: You are within two weeks of turnover of a three-story build-to-suit office building project. Many of the city inspections are complete and it appears that a certificate of occupancy (C of O) will be obtained on time. Only the fire protection, elevator, and life safety inspections remain. The mechanical, electrical, fire protection and life safety were all design-build systems. During the punch list, it is discovered that the fire protection subcontractor has installed a different type of sprinkler head on each floor. The first floor uses concealed heads with white escutcheons to match the ceiling tiles. The second floor uses decorative chrome heads. The subcontractor installed semi-recessed heads on the third floor. This was not picked up prior as a person cannot physically see more than one floor at a time. The client is very upset. QUESTION: Can you require the subcontractor to change them all out now? Would this be a good move given the status of the inspections? What should the general contractor have done to prevent this from happening? What can you do now?
