Track 2: Contractor Sessions
Wednesday, April 19, 08:00 – 09:00
The air barrier is chosen and specified and the installer has submitted their shop drawings and submittals. Now the contractor must install the product on your specific building. Making sure that the system specified is reviewed thoroughly, shop drawings and submittals are submitted properly and completely, and all the project specific details are understood is the next big task for a successful air barrier installation. We will go over what makes a good pre-installation meeting necessary, informative, and has the ability to verify understanding among all players and adjacent transitions. Using job site photos and drawings to present the information.
