Coordination on Site .1 Coordinate the Work, so that the Project proceeds smoothly, without interruption, and in strict accordance with the approved progress schedules. Ensure that the Work is executed in proper sequence, items to be built in are delivered and built in on time, installed work is protected against damage and defective work is removed and made good to the satisfaction of the Construction Manager and the Consultant. Before commencement of each operation, review all documents which describe or relate to that operation and report to the Construction Manager any discrepancies in the documents and obtain a ruling on such discrepancies before commencing work. Cooperate fully with the Construction Manager and other Trade Contractors to and perform necessary coordination to expedite the work of the entire Project and ensure the efficient and orderly installation of interdependent construction elements. Coordinate space requirements, supports and the installation of mechanical and electrical work which is indicated schematically on the drawings. Follow the routing shown for pipes, ducts and conduits as closely as possible; place runs parallel with lines of the building. Utilize spaces efficiently to maximize accessibility for other installations, for maintenance and for repairs. Except where indicated otherwise, in finished areas, conceal pipes, ducts and wiring in floors, walls and ceilings. Coordinate locations of fixtures and outlets with finished elements. Before installation, inform the Consultant if there is a contradictory situation. Install as directed by the Consultant.
