Well, in fairness, I’ve had requests from architects, builders, and even engineers asking for that kind of precision on things that don’t really require it, and they’re not even sure what they’re asking for when they do. 1/8″? Really, is that what you really want?
I don’t lie to them, tell them that they don’t need it that tight to build their walkway or garage, and leave that out in my proposal.
There is a larger story built in within my brief encapsulation. It was in my first week of a new job. The survey manager was an absolutely cracker jack at small boundaries and plats but knew nothing of precision work or construction staking. The other PLS, who had been there longer than anyone, didn’t want the job so he sabotaged the proposal.
