arranging for fabrication, and ultimately building the structure. The contractor first selects the shop drawing detailer and the steel fabricator. The detailer develops preliminary shop drawings, used for ordering steel from the mill for delivery to the fabricator. Thus the prime contractor assumes the risk for availability and delivery of steel to meet the contract schedule. This highly linear process can add six to eight weeks to the project schedule for a complex structure (Whited & Gatti, 2007). During construction, problems tend to amplify when the wrong steel arrives at the wrong time on the jobsite due to poor tracking by the fabricator. Moreover, it can be very difficult to explain complex erection schedules to the steel crew based on 2D drawings. Additionally, explaining field discrepancies to the project managers and detailers can be frustrating when the project only uses paper-based documents.
The oracle, the Cato, of our age. All men, compared to you, are downright fools. CLEANTE I'm not the sole expounder of the doctrine, And wisdom shall not die with me, good brother. But this I know, though it be all my knowledge, That there's a difference 'twixt false and true. And as I find no kind of hero more To be admired than men of true religion, Nothing more noble or more beautiful Than is the holy zeal of true devoutness; Just so I think there's naught more odious Than whited sepulchres of outward unction, Those barefaced charlatans, those hireling zealots, Whose sacrilegious, treacherous pretence Deceives at will, and with impunity Makes mockery of all that men hold sacred; Men who, enslaved to selfish interests, Make trade and merchandise of godliness, And try to purchase influence and office With false eye-rollings and affected raptures; Those men, I say, who with uncommon zeal Seek their own fortunes on the road to heaven;
