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 of them, 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 during the takeoff process.
