Do not remove or relocate the other trade’s work unless directed.
Tell foreman before covering or continuing.
Mark the spot if it needs repair/coordination.

Ask foreman

Another trade’s pipe is resting on our duct/support at [location]. It dented/affected [condition]. Do you want this documented for coordination before I touch anything?

Do not

Do not move or cut another trade’s work on your own.
