Static field route #1018

The GC or another trade tells me to move duct but it creates an access problem

Coordination, RFIs & Other Tradesyellow

Do not argue and do not move it blindly. Pause, name the access/TAB/code problem, and loop in your foreman before changing the route.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Acknowledge the request without committing.
Identify what access, damper, TAB, service, or inspection issue the move creates.
Take a photo and measurement.
Tell the GC you need to loop in your foreman because it affects access/coordination.
Bring your foreman the options.

Ask foreman

The GC asked us to move this duct [amount/direction], but it will block [damper/access/TAB/service]. Can you confirm the route before I move anything?

Do not

Do not accept a field direction that creates a hidden access or inspection problem without your foreman’s approval.

Why it matters

Multi-party authority conflicts need your chain of command involved. A polite pause prevents rework and politics.
