A visible attribute (color, finish, texture, profile) differs from the spec or the architect-approved sample. This guide covers how it shows up specifically in Division 14 Conveying Equipment submittals.

What to look for in Division 14 Conveying Equipment

  • Cab interior finishes (wall panels - stainless steel type/finish, laminate, stone, wood veneer)
  • Cab ceiling type (LED downlights, suspended panel, fan with light)
  • Cab flooring material and pattern (spec may require owner's finish - coordinate thickness)
  • Entrance/door finish (satin stainless, mirror stainless, painted, bronze, antique)
  • Handrail type and finish inside cab
  • Signal fixture style (hall lanterns, position indicators, car operating panel design)
  • Signal fixture finish (faceplates - stainless, bronze, painted to match wall)
  • Hall call button style and finish
  • Escalator balustrade type (glass, stainless steel, solid)
  • Escalator handrail color (black standard - colored is a specification item)

How severe is it?

Default grade: Fix and Resubmit. Owner-sensitive; the PM confirms against the approved sample before accepting.

Deviation Check assigns a default per category and escalates or de-escalates based on the spec, always showing its reasoning. See the Division 14 severity rules.

What the PM should do

Stamp the submittal Revise and Resubmit. Mark the deviation, return the relevant spec passage as a redline, and have the sub correct and re-send before fabrication or installation.

Frequently asked questions

What cab interior finish deviations commonly appear in Division 14 Conveying Equipment submittals and how are they resolved?

The most common mismatches involve wall panel material - stainless steel type or finish, laminate, stone, or wood veneer - and entrance finish such as satin versus mirror stainless or painted versus bronze. Resolution requires the PM to compare the submitted finish sample or cut sheet directly against the architect-approved sample. Cab flooring deviations also need a thickness check, because owner-furnished flooring must coordinate with the cab sill height.

How should a project manager handle signal fixture and hall call button finish discrepancies in Division 14 Conveying Equipment submittals?

Signal fixture submittals - hall lanterns, position indicators, car operating panels, and hall stations - must show faceplate finish matching the spec, typically satin stainless, bronze, or painted to match the wall. Because these items are visible to building occupants every day, the owner is often sensitive to any variation. The PM confirms against the approved sample before accepting; a submittal that differs without an owner sign-off stays at Fix and Resubmit.
