While working on [[303-mariposa-residence]],
|
|
after spending hours working on lighting control,
|
|
[[jared-defanti]] and I found a set of keynotes
|
|
that totally changed our assumptions for takeoff,
|
|
requiring that we change several designations.
|
|
He asked if this was a common occurrence,
|
|
I replied that he should expect it to happen
|
|
a couple dozen times per project.
|
|
I've said often that I'm obsessive in my takeoff
|
|
with the expectation that I will need to change most takeoffs,
|
|
but I only realized then
|
|
that I am not expecting a revision to the RFP documents,
|
|
but that my understanding of the requirements will change
|
|
as I make new discoveries in takeoff.
