The mistake many often make including the so-called engineers is that they do not take ample time to align or understudy what they have on paper with what the site’s real peculiarities were.
While it may be procedural that drawings should normally precede site work, it is equally in order to have this understanding that imaginations have some level of dynamism that can make earlier design change when being face to face with the realities on ground.
And apart from the dynamics of imaginations playing a vital role, there is also this crucial aspect of what the physical factors like environmental and natural scenery could have as an impact while trying to consolidate on the actual direction of a project construction.
And this is the more reason why it is very reasonable to while preparing to begin construction that the project team first visit the site after preliminary conceptualisation and even some basic design direction so as to properly align peculiarities on site and environs with the concept in mind.
