On Wednesday I was instructed to layout a new house on a rebuild section in the part of town worst affected by the earthquakes.
Went to the site and found the demolition not complete - the old foundation was still in place.
A terse message about site prep went back to the project manager.
This morning we get the message from the project manager that the site is "ready this time".
Yeah Right - this is what we found.
At least I'm not the guy in the white suit....
[SARCASM]That's when you send that same picture to the "project manager" and tell him you need a hand on site with the lay out.[/SARCASM]
That's when I "trip charge" bill. 😎
Call the guy back and ask him how many times he's going to pay you to go out and look at a site that isn't ready?

Or send him a huge bill for the staking that "was" done.
Too late you took the picture, by then the asbestos had already infected you.
send him that picture along with an invoice and tell him you will finish the survey later.
I totally feel you guys here. We have a site for a parking lot layout with new islands and curb and gutter. Last week they called me to stake the curb and gutter I thought nothing of it and sent the crew. What I didn??t know was they had a completely new Civil engineer (makes 3 sets of plans on this project) reengineer all of the offsite curb and gutter and sidewalk and never forward me the plan. Some people just don??t get what their job is on a project. They had only three people that needed that plan set and they couldn??t get it right.

For staking jobs, I routinely tell my client which drawing is the latest one that I have, and if there have been any revisions since. If it's more than a month old, there almost always is a revision that I was not told about.

or the neighbors to either side. That has to be comforting watching people in hazmat suits and respirators treating the lot next door like Fukushima.
