Construction projects involve multiple experts, like architects, consultants, electricians, and compliance professionals, working together to ensure successful outcomes. The submittals include samples, drawings, project data, material listings, quality assurance, etc. Many types of documents during construction make up submittals.

Well, I believe that many things that are wrong in the construction industry can be traced back to people not understanding how drawings work and others using this lack of knowledge to their own advantage. Orthogonal projection? Unfortunately, there are very few signs within the industry to show this happening.

So, it saddens me to see them regularly become ‘dog’s breakfast’, both when it comes to their design/documentation and construction. Stairs seem to suffer even more in projects that are governed by ‘Design Intent’ and ‘Indicative Drawings’. Sloppily dressed up drawings kill both design intent and confidence in consultants.
