A typical day

Sit down with the drawing set and a list of changes from the architect or engineer. Update plans, sections, elevations and details so they all agree with each other, which is most of the work. Coordinate the model against the structural and mechanical models and flag the clashes. Answer a contractor's question about a dimension. Print or publish a set for a permit submission. Deadlines cluster around permit and bid dates, and those weeks run long.
