13.45   Constructability Plan Review

Although acceptance testing does not require a plan review to be performed by the construction team, the construction team should review the construction drawings and specifications to understand the scope of the acceptance tests and raise critical issues that might affect the success of the acceptance tests prior to starting construction. Any constructability issues associated with the lighting system should be forwarded to the design team so that necessary modifications can be made prior to equipment procurement and installation. As an example, understanding the construction inspection requirements for manual or automatic daylighting controls (NA7.6.3 and NA7.6.1) could prevent expensive rewiring if the circuiting requirements are understood prior to installing the wiring.
