Bring the evidence calmly and ask to verify before final work. Make it about the drawing/submittal conflict, not about proving someone wrong.

Field checklist

Confirm the exact drawing/submittal/tag conflict.
Measure/photo the difference.
Use “verify before I connect/seal/cut” language.
Ask before locking in downstream work.
Document direction received.

Ask foreman

I want to do this, but the drawing/submittal looks different from the field by [amount]. Can we verify before I final-connect/seal it?

Do not

Do not argue or silently install something you believe will create a major problem.

Why it matters

This is a field judgment moment. TinnerFlow helps you slow down, document, and ask clean; drawings, specs, manufacturer instructions, site rules, code/AHJ, and foreman direction still win.
