Field checklist

Photo steel and duct route together.
Check section/detail/coordination drawing.
Verify if route can shift without creating other problems.
Tell foreman before cutting/drilling/field fitting.
Ask if engineering/coordination/RFI is needed.

Ask foreman

Structural steel blocks this duct route. Do you want this escalated for coordination/RFI?

Do not

Do not cut, drill, notch, grind, or modify structural steel or supports.

Why it matters

Structure controls the building. Duct route changes around it need approval.
