Steps
Confirm the building has reached service-level HVAC and humidity conditions before scheduling wood millwork delivery.
Store and stage millwork components under AWI 200's care and storage conditions to avoid moisture-related movement before installation.
Allow wood components adequate acclimation time to the building's ambient conditions prior to final fit and fastening.
Measure and document moisture content at delivery and again before installation using a calibrated moisture meter, comparing readings against the range appropriate to the building's climate.
Delay installation and notify the GC/architect in writing if site conditions fall outside acceptable ranges, rather than installing under noncompliant conditions.
Known gotchas
Responsibility for site readiness (operating HVAC, acceptable humidity) rests with the GC/owner under AWI 200, not the woodwork supplier — document site conditions before delivery to protect against warranty disputes over splitting or warping.
Moisture-related defects appearing after installation are frequently traced to installing before the building reached stable service conditions rather than to a material defect — keep dated moisture readings as evidence.
