If it is in the specs that all subs need to agree on and then sign off on drawings before any work can be fabricated or installed then I would just bring the spec to the meeting and show it to him and the GC. Not much for him to argue about there. If no one is going to follow the spec then this project could turn into a free-for-all very quickly.
