Owner wanted us to reschedule due to the crowds. I noted that 14 guage wire was installed not 12 guage as per the approved plans. Also the 75cd ceiling mounted horn/strobes need to have reduced spacing due to the height at which they have been installed. Also the 110cd ceiling moiunt strobe at teh very end of the tenant space is overspaced off of the wall in the picnic table area. And the NAC panel has been relocated to a different location in the building. No actual testing was performed.
