I might have been wrong

Notice to Proceed and Letter of Intent

I might have been wrong about the origin of the scanned pdf. It may not necessarily be the architect but the owner that has resorted to such skullduggery. Whomever it was when you realize that there are multiple steps to get this point there really is no explanation other than intentional greed.

1. Someone would first have to print out the PDF files to paper. (This isn’t insubstantial when the planset exceeds 100 pages as it is in this case)
2. Then with the printed files they would have to scan them. (Again to handle that many pages someone would have to be manually there as scanners for that paper size can’t typically handle more than a few pages at a time.)
3. Then they would have to upload them manually.

All of this instead of a simple straight-across drag and drop to the project files.

Anyone else have a suggestion as to how this might be an innocent mistake?

This habit, however, often results in overlooked details, leading to lower bids, increased […]

This post will be expounded on but the schedule is based on a six-day workweek? The prime contract governs but is available to review in the GCs office in Florida? What?

Stop The Cycle Of Abuse

Stop bidding with GCs who blatantly steal from you. By doing so even at a so-called premium you’re telling these general contractors that their behavior is ok and comes at little risk to them. This perpetuates a cycle that is not only self-destructive but destructive to other sub-contractors as well as to GCs who maintain […]
