Before You Send a Field Photo

Use this to send photos that actually help the foreman/detailer solve the problem.

What this covers

You need to text/send a field condition, conflict, missing part, wrong fitting, access issue, or damage.

How to use this playbook

  1. Take one wide photo, one close photo, and one measurement photo.
  2. Wide photo: show the room/area/grid and surrounding trades.
  3. Close photo: show the exact problem.
  4. Measurement photo: include tape measure or marked reference.
  5. Drawing photo: show the print/shop detail if the issue is a mismatch.
  6. Add a short message: location, duct/system, problem, measurement, and what decision is needed.
  7. Send before you alter the condition.

Check

  • Wide
  • Close
  • Measurement
  • Drawing/detail

Warnings

  • Do not send a zoomed-in mystery photo with no context.
  • Do not send blurry photos while climbing or operating equipment.
  • Do not hide damage/conflict by choosing a flattering angle.
  • Do not forget location and measurement.

Stop and ask

  • Use anytime the answer depends on field condition and someone not standing next to you needs to understand it.
