Task G-16 Modifies products to site conditions
Task descriptor
Products often require modifications on-site prior to final installation. Plumbing, electrical and heating access holes may need to be cut and scribing is often done to ensure the product is tight fitting to uneven surfaces. Final adjustments are also done by the cabinetmaker to ensure that the product is functional and aesthetically pleasing.
