不只是台工程师

30年项目管理员期间,我曾有机会与数名工程师共事,我工作过的最好的工程师是那些从办公桌后脱机并前往项目设计地的工程师。我多次注意到一些工程师接受业主自建图纸,认为这些图画足够精准设计

工程师不知道那些自建图纸 是由最后建包商开发的, 超出预算,落后进度表, 唯一支付方式是翻转自建图画作为其项目关闭文档的一部分,

6似非大错unfortunately the engineer that was relying on these "as-built" drawings to be accurate was designing the installation of a new milling machine that has to have 4' of clear space around it to operate and now one side only has 3'-6".  This mistake was not found until the contractor installing the new milling machine tried to install it and it would not fit.  Fortunately, the opposite wall could be relocated.  However this delayed the project by several days and it cost the owner additional money for the change order to move the wall.  Ultimately, the design engineer gets blamed and not the previous contractor.

工程师若花时间验证房主分配空间足以新建磨机, 便会发现问题, 解决设计阶段问题,

自建绘图只像创建者那样好,并只应用于参考目的。从办公桌后走去项目工地。提高天花板并查看天花板上方以确认鸭图匹配安装内容。查找墙位置关键区域并确认位置

When dealing with a project where you might have to dig to install underground utilities or foundations, examine the surface to see if there is evidence of trenches that don't show up on your prints.  This might be an indication of some work that was not properly documented.  Look to see if there are pipes or conduits running down the wall that go into the ground.  Make sure that you know where these utilities run and don't assume that you know because they are on the print.  Verify with the owner that the prints are accurate or ask the owner if he wants to pay to have ground penetrating radar used to find and map out the location of the utilities.  And even after finding the general location of the utilities, make sure that you call out on your design documents to have the contractor to only use machinery up to a certain point and then to hand dig until the utilities are visually located.  All it takes is one broken gas line, high voltage cable, communication cable or water main to completely ruin an otherwise successful design project.
