I say this with love but, you've never worked in construction have you.

Architects drawings are little more than nicely descriptive hopes and sketches of an intended idea, which a good contractor has to turn into an actual plan of work.

You want to see chaos go talk to the person running the development of a high end property in New York.

I have a way of getting people to talk to me about their professions. At the tail end of a water damage repair, the GC confessed to me that they flood customers with trivial choices to distract them from the illusion of choice in other areas. Like the physics of plumbing dictating where sinks can go.

As I mentioned up thread, I want to buy a GC beers and get them to tell me more, before I ever take another contracting gig.
