  • Transmittal — item list keyed to the schedule, with the reviewer/GC and the type (partial or full)
  • Table of contents / section dividers so the reviewer can navigate
  • Product data — manufacturer cut sheets marked to the exact model, options, and finish being furnished (strike what doesn't apply)
  • Shop drawings for anything fabricated or custom, matched to the drawings and schedules
  • Samples or physical mock-ups where the specification requires visual approval
  • Certifications & test reports the spec calls up (listings, ratings, compliance letters)
  • O&M data and warranties where required at this stage
  • Substitution request forms for any product not on the approved-manufacturer list

2 · 28 16 00 Intrusion Detection — what reviewers expect

Run the battery calcs at the spec's required margin (often 20–25%), not the code minimum — engineers check the math, and short margins are the most common Division 28 rejection.

  • Device data sheets for every initiating and notification device, all listed for the use
  • Battery calculations with the required standby and alarm margins
  • Voltage drop calculations for notification circuits
  • Riser diagram and point-to-point wiring details
  • Panel and power supply data with circuit capacities
  • Candela settings and synchronization for visual notification
  • Monitoring and off-premises connection details
