Check First
What Not To Do
Don't make field changes without marking up drawings. Don't assume someone else will document.
What can go wrong: Future maintenance can't locate devices, warranty issues, disputes over what was installed
Better Foreman Question
For this field modification, should I mark it on the as-built set immediately? And who needs to review the as-builts before closeout?
