DAE spend a month just to get a basic blueprint signed off?

It feels like my entire schedule gets wrecked waiting for that one approval stamp.

My old team at the Austin office would rush approvals too. I mean, I totally get the frustration, but after seeing a project go way off track, I get what johnson.river means about that stamp preventing bigger wrecks.

Ugh, wells.christopher is totally right about that. Rushing just kicks the problem down the road. Seen it so many times where skipping a step to "save time" means a total redo later, which eats up way more days. That annoying wait for a stamp absolutely sucks, but it's way better than the alternative mess.

That stamp prevents way bigger schedule wrecks later.

Oh man, reminds me of waiting three weeks for a specialty part, but then finding a way cheaper fix while we waited. Saved the client a ton!
