We're working on a project where we have both and I think cutting and patching is redundant because a majority of the provisions usually specified in the section can (or should) also be found in selective demo. What are y'all doing when your work includes remodeling of, and addition to an existing building?

(actually, in 01 7300 Execution) That tends to simplify things and allows the Division 02 section for demolition to focus on just that. J.

I have a drywall partition up with framing, drywall, and joint compount with the electrical already in. Someone comes along and wants to put in another electrical outlet (or the contractor has forgotten one); the resulting activity is cutting and patching.

Definitely not the same as demo.
