as required to ensure a rigid and secure assembly. Exposed surfaces shall be free from dents, tool marks,
warpage, buckle, glue and open joints. All joints, corner and mitres shall be accurately fitted. Fastenings shall
be concealed. Threaded connections shall be made up tightly so that threads are entirely concealed.

2.

All joints and corners shall be accurately fitted to shapes and dimensions indicated, with all lines, angles and
surfaces in true alignment, plumb, level and in proper plane.

3.

Use the proper thickness of metal, adequate stiffeners, supports and proven details of assembly so that the
finished material will conform to the highest standards of the industry. Reinforce members and joints with steel
plates, bars, rods or angles for rigidity and strength as needed to comply with performance requirements.

4.

All exposed work shall be carefully matched to produce continuity of line and design. Joints in exposed metal
work shall be accurately fitted and rigidly secured with hairline contacts. Exposed joints in flat surfaces shall be
flush, unless otherwise indicated. End joints shall have sleeves of the same outline as the exposed shapes to
assure good alignments.

during the course of installation. Any materials showing evidence of such mishandling shall be replaced at the
expense of the Contractor.

Do not install units that have members that are warped, bowed, deformed or otherwise damaged or defaced.
Remove and replace such members as directed.

7.

Accurately cut and form the materials to the required shape and profile with all exposed surfaces free from
irregularities and defects. Carefully fit and match all components before assembly to maintain continuity of line
between them. Provide hairline joints between contact surfaces of non-welded joints, unless indicated otherwise.
Complete all cutting, drilling, welding, and other similar elements before the application of final finishes.

8.

Drill, countersink and tap components as necessary to receive threaded fasteners. Use concealed fasteners
wherever possible. Set out exposed fasteners where permitted in an even manner.

9.

Accurately align components and rigidly secure all non-moving joints by welding or fixing with machine screws
or bolts. Reinforce joints and components as necessary to achieve the required strength and provide proper
joint fixing. Ensure that no areas of unfinished material are visible in the finished work. Drive in all exposed
fasteners level and flush with the adjacent surfaces. Disassemble the works only to the extent necessary to
facilitate transportation to Site.

10.

All elements of framework and associated beads and strips shall be stored on Site such that they do not get
damaged or distort.
