Morris Schneps
The sub-contractor installed different types of sprinkler heads on each floor in a three-story office building. The sub-contractor should have followed the drawings. It is discovered during the punch list, only two weeks before a turnover. The general contractor should also have caught it. The fire inspection remains. If the sprinkler system still works properly and the reason it was changed was for aesthetic reasons, then it will still pass the fire inspection. If the sprinklers have different patterns, do not spray the required amount of water, or have other issues than they will fail the fire inspection. In this case the sub-contractor would have to pay to replace the sprinklers. This issue should have been prevented. The general contractor should have supervised the sub-contractor better.
