Finish TradesQuestion 419 of 700
When specifying architectural cabinetry, what does specifying a particular grade under the North American Architectural Woodwork Standards primarily control?
a.Only the wood species and nothing else
b.The material quality, construction methods, joinery, and finish tolerances
c.The delivery schedule of the millwork
d.The paint color of the casework
Explanation
Specifying a woodwork grade sets the allowable material quality, construction and joinery methods, and finish tolerances the fabricator must meet. It does not by itself dictate delivery schedules or paint color, which are handled by the contract documents and finish schedule.
