We just got a one off job. Stand alone piece that doesn't interact with anything else. I came up with a rough drawing for the shop to build from. Some details were left out because I figured we'd figure it out as we went along. While my boss was cool with it (he didn't want me to spend too much time planning/drafting) the carps were all out of sorts. I usually generate all info in the paperwork down to the last detail because for our big clients we repeat a lot of jobs and want consistency across all iterations. I feel like people have kind of lost the skill to make stuff up as they go along. Kept coming up to me asking exactly how to do xyz after I said, "here's what this bit needs to do, go for it". And I'm talking minute stuff like, "should the joint lap this way or this way?" and "screw or staple?"
So, I guess the question really is, how do you guys build? keep it loose or rigidly adhere to the meticulously drawn plans?
