Scope of Work

What This Engagement Covers.

Interior Painting

CSI 09 91 23

Interior painting for commercial and residential spaces, clean lines, uniform finishes, and work sequenced around the people using the building.

  • Wall, ceiling, and soffit coatings
  • Trim, doors, frames, and millwork finishing
  • Exposed structure and dryfall applications
  • Accent walls and specialty finishes

Commercial Painting

CSI 09 91 00

Full commercial painting packages for general contractors, developers, and owners, new construction, tenant finish-outs, and remodels held to the construction schedule.

  • Full Division 09 painting packages for new construction
  • Tenant finish-outs delivered to lease commencement dates
  • Remodels phased around trading hours and occupants
  • Multi-site and rollout programs to a brand prototype standard
Systems & Preparation

What Goes On the Wall, and What Happens First.

Coatings are specified against the substrate and the service the surface has to take, then confirmed with the manufacturer before pricing. Nearly every finish that fails early fails in preparation, not in the can, so preparation carries its own line and its own sign-off.

Gypsum Board
Primer plus two finish coats per the finish schedule
Trim and Doors
Waterborne or alkyd enamel per the schedule
High-Touch Areas
Scrubbable, high-hide washable systems
Occupied Spaces
Low-VOC systems with minimal cure odor
Project Approach

How This Job Was Run.

  1. 02

    Scope Review

    Scope gaps cause more disputes than any finish issue. We walk the scope line with the general contractor before award, which surfaces, which side of the demising wall, whose doors, whose ceilings, and put the answer in the contract instead of discovering it during construction.

  2. 04

    Surface Preparation

    Cleaning, profiling, moisture and adhesion testing where warranted, substrate repair, and priming to the manufacturer specification. Preparation is priced as its own line item so it is visible, and so a budget reduction is a decision not something that quietly happens.

  3. 06

    Quality Control

    We run our own quality-control inspection ahead of the general contractor's walkthrough. Coverage, sheen uniformity, cut lines, and adjacent-surface condition are checked and corrected before anyone else is asked to look at the work.

  4. 08

    Project Closeout

    Attic stock, the approved color schedule, product data, and the one-year workmanship warranty are delivered as a package at turnover. Warranty support continues after closeout. A call after closeout gets the same response as a call during construction.

How Retail Work Runs

Prototype Compliance

Most national retailers publish a finish standard down to the manufacturer and product code. We verify the schedule against the prototype book during preconstruction and flag substitutions in writing before anything is ordered. Not after a district manager walks the store.

Fixed Opening Dates

A retail opening is a marketing event with advertising already bought. Paint sits between drywall and fixture install, and it absorbs upstream delay. We plan manpower for the compressed version of the schedule, because that is usually the one that happens.
