Experience convinces me that when it comes to writing a specification for any outside contractor that I'm not paranoid, they are out to get me.
Imagine driving off the highway for the first view of a new office/plant facility and seeing that the driveway at the gate is four feet above the main road level and is beautifully shored up with a retaining wall built of 16 inch I beams. Yes, Virginia there is a measurement standard that uses a 10 inch foot. Who'd a thunk it?
You'd think that someone would have wondered about having to truck in hundreds of cubic metres of gravel to build up the roadbed when that wasn't anywhere in the costing for the project. Perhaps having to build a temporary access road to the site since the raised driveway made access impossible would have caused someone to make a phone call.
I laughed then and I still have to laugh at it now. |
