### Free Notes

Ops creates, approves the labor plan.
This limits our ability to make interesting decisions:
MC cable ILO PVC in-slab pushes the schedule out.

[[estimating-golf]] question, asked by Corwin:
"Are the electric rooms stacked?"

### Thoughts

#### Corwin

Corwin is a true _estimator_.
I've met few people more willing to make calculations
and give confident estimates in conversation.

He understands the necessity of accepting and accounting for risk.

He is as critical of overly-heavy estimates
as light estimates.
He specifically prefers accurate line item costs
with a single contingency
over inflated individual budgets.
