With all due respect to the New York Construction Grips, Merging Grip (job) with Construction grip is wrong.

While Grips will assist the construction department with set work during production, they do not participate in the deconstruction of sets. The only thing they will work on is the derigging of lighting grids, flying set pieces, and other rigging related to lighting. The sets themselves are taken down by the construction department.

There may be a title "Contruction Grip" but it does not fall under the Grip department.

With no disrespect to the New York Construction Grips, I think Grip (job) should stay where it is. I live and work in the UK and Grip (job) it fits nicely where it is, and I don't think it would fit in anywhere else.

In I.A.T.S.E. Production, any set that has been on camera is grip jurisdiction. Unless a set is a "dead strike" which means its going in the trash, grips should absolutely be involved in deconstruction and storing of sets. "Construction grips" are just grips that work side by side with construction in rebuilding, reconfiguring, or rigging support outside of construction's purview. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 40.136.170.199 (talk) 19:23, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
