A typical day

Mostly a desk in a consulting office. Morning: model the steel frame for a 6-storey building in analysis software and check the beam sizes by hand. A call with the architect about moving a column. Afternoon: review drawings from the drafting team, sign off on a shop drawing, and write up yesterday's site visit, where the contractor poured a slab that did not match the plans. Deadlines cluster around building permit dates.
