![]() ![]() If you fail to do so, they will lose their sanity and pass into Limbo, where you’ll have to buy their souls back. To get into the nitty-gritty of the gameplay, you’ll need to extract suffering from your sinners while keeping them sane by meeting their needs. Maybe you found some old baby boomer architects who should retire and wont but, most are UNDER paid, OVER worked and UNDER appreciated.Build the right facilities to “take care” of your sinnersīut your coworkers are secondary to the sinners put into your dubious care. By your statements you know nothing about how architects work. Its always about the money thats why your boss is trying to get you to spend your time on something to make money for him and not fix things that cost him money. That's why I don't trust architects, they're overpaid and overrated." They're lazy, self-aggrandizing and usually support the PMC's in positive change orders that will make them more money, whether or not the client needs it. If the client is paying for an architect, they should get the services of an architect. "It's not about the money, or perhaps it shouldn't be. So you need me to come and do your job for you? That's why my small PMC has a couple of architects and engineers on staff to make sure such fuck-ups don't occur" ![]() A couple of hours to walk through a site each week shouldn't be that much to ask. The problem is the architect, not someone else. Thanks for coming here to confirm that GCs are always looking for an excuse to blame someone else.Ĭame back to re post these for you since i couldnt find them No one in the chain wants to share each spending a bit of time so instead everyone avoids it and then you get what you pay for. If there are two tiles with different thicknesses installed on the same wall, sure not an ideal specification, still your subs job to realize and figure out. Something like you described is means and methods (your job) to ensure some pipe doesn't end up throwing off a niche like that to begin with (assuming its all new)Īt the end of the day the niche could have just been made smaller to work out right so your entire story is a good one but still wrong. News flash - Architects do not get paid enough to do the drawings let alone do all this extra coordination and CA work. Oh and these don't appear on site either. Id love to approve shop drawings but 100% of the time I receive about half of the ones that are asked for. (PS half the time I show up to a job site Im lucky to find the right drawings - if any at all) Everyone thinks they know better and all cut a corners to put money in their pocket (besides wtf does that architect or engineer know anyway). That said its not like the contractors follow half of what is put down on the paper anyway. If its existing - come on - do we have x-ray vision? I even have a thermal camera and sometimes that helps but I'm not going to know everything. and plumbing) These guys also have too many things going on at once and don't give two fucks about the architects design working or not (yes I coordinate to make sure pipes dont run across elevator shafts, no I dont coordinate items that can be fixed in the field). ![]() MEP drawings generally suck - they are not to scale and diagrammatic half the time (particularly elec. "Architects never look past the facade of any building" ? really ? that's actually pretty offensive considering how wrong you are.anyway here They have too many irons in the fire, and most of them rely too much on the punch list or snag list, causing delays. I worked in NYC on luxury apartments as a Project Manager, and the architects are never as involved as they're supposed to be. Another detail the architect was supposed to look at. Since both are installed on the same wall, the tile is jutting out. Revisions and changes take time that means money lost to the contractor.Īs for the second question, why the tiles don't align, the bottom tile is clearly thicker than the bizzazza above it. ![]() Most people doing the tiles do what they're told to GFCs and shop drawings once approved, are boss. The architect probably wasn't as involved in the job site as he should have been. The probable reason behind this was that the water pipes or utilities ran through the niche and the niche was moved to intersect the middle band of bizazza tiles.Īrchitects are supposed to make sure their designs don't foul up the existing features of the building if it's a renovation, and study structural and MEP drawings thoroughly. Architects never look past the facade of any building. ![]()
