Wenger Specialty Equipment for Music Education Facilities

This General Requirements Section serves as a coordinating section for the variety of music education specialty items typically specified in contemporary rehearsal and performance spaces. It allows the Architect to require a qualified, coordinating Installer be retained by the contractor or construction manager to carry out the work of these related items. Enforcing the requirement of a qualified, coordinated installation is the best way to ensure that products and workmanship will meet the quality level established by the project contract documents.
