PART 3 ‐ EXECUTION

3.01 EXAMINATION
A. Examine substrates, with Installer present, for
compliance with requirements for installation
tolerances and other conditions affecting installation
and performance of work. Do not proceed with
installation until unsatisfactory conditions have been
corrected.

3.02 PREPARATION
A. Before installation, condition woodwork to average
prevailing humidity conditions in installation areas..

3.03 INSTALLATION, GENERAL

A. Discard units of material with defects that impair
quality of rough carpentry construction and that are
too small to use in fabricating rough carpentry with
minimum joints or optimum joint arrangement.
B. Set rough carpentry to required levels and lines, with
members plumb and true to line and cut and fitted.
C. Fit rough carpentry to other construction; scribe and
cope as required for accurate fit. Correlate location of
furring, nailers, blocking, grounds, and similar supports
to allow attachment of other construction.
D. Securely attach rough carpentry work to substrate by
anchoring and fastening as indicated.
E. Countersink nail heads on exposed carpentry work and
fill holes.
F. Use common wire nails, unless otherwise indicated. Use
finishing nails for finish work. Select fasteners of size
that will not penetrate members where opposite side
will be exposed to view or will receive finish materials.
Make tight connections between members. Install
fasteners without splitting of wood; predrill as
 required.

3.04 WOOD GROUNDS, NAILERS AND BLOCKING

A. Install wood grounds, nailers and blocking where
shown and where required for screeding or the
attachment of other work. Form to shapes as shown
and cut as required for true line and level of work to be
attached. Coordinate location with other work involved.
B. Attach to substrates as required to support applied
loading. Countersink bolts and nuts flush with surfaces,
unless otherwise indicated. Build into masonry during
installation of masonry work. Where possible, anchor
to formwork before concrete placement.
C. Install permanent grounds of dressed, preservative
treated, key‐bevelled lumber not less than 38 mm wide
and of thickness required to bring face of ground to
exact thickness of finish material involved. Remove
temporary grounds when no longer required.

3.05 WOOD FURRING INSTALLATION

A. Install level and plumb with closure strips at edges and
openings. Shim with wood as required for tolerance of
finish work.
B. Furring to Receive Plywood or Hardboard Panelling :
Install 19‐by‐63‐mm actual size furring horizontally and
vertically at 600 mm o.c.
