Coordination, Clashes, Sequencing & ReworkCoordination starter — document before changing work

If the insulator cannot reach joints because the duct is too tight, flag it before the ceiling closes.

Open in Field Rescue Open category

Field checklist

Check which joints need insulation/seal/finish.
Look at clearance around walls, steel, and other trades.
Ask insulator/foreman what space is needed.
Document blocked areas.
Coordinate before more duct is installed tight.

Ask foreman

The insulator cannot reach these joints. Do we need to adjust sequence, access, or clearance?

Do not

Do not assume insulation can fix a joint nobody can reach.

Why it matters

A duct run is not done if the next trade cannot finish it.
