Product specifications should be coordinated with architectural, electrical, mechanical, millwork, furniture, and technology plans before construction or renovation reaches its final stages.

For example, refrigerator dimensions must work with cabinetry and ventilation requirements. Television size and mounting specifications must correspond with wall construction and furniture placement. In-room PTACs, VTACs, and thermostats require appropriate mechanical and electrical infrastructure.

Cross-disciplinary specification reviews can identify these conflicts before equipment arrives on-site, when corrections are typically easier and less expensive.
