 # Estimating Isn't Engineering

 A peer recently expressed frustration to me
 about the declining quality of construction drawings,
-specifically how scope is often ~~required but not detailed~~.
+specifically how systems are often missing details
+necessary to price the scope definitively.

+"be both the estimator and the engineer".
+This puzzled me because the examples they gave
+sounded like stereotypical estimation problems.
