A single missing dimension nearly cost me a $15,000 contract in Denver
Last month, I was finishing a set of foundation plans for a new house. I had worked on them for three days straight, double-checking everything, or so I thought. I sent the PDF to the builder, and an hour later he called me, his voice tight. He asked for the footing depth on the north wall. I pulled up the file, and my stomach dropped. It wasn't there. I had dimensioned every other side, but that one critical spot was blank. He said if his crew had poured based on my prints, they would have been off by a foot and a half, and the rework would have been massive. I fixed it in five minutes, but the trust was shaken. I had to drive to the site the next morning to walk through every sheet with him. How do you guys make sure you catch those last little blanks before hitting send?
