Kicchi kicchi (how organised is organised?)

We have received more material from our builder in Japan last night......

drawings to the left and monthly construction program to the right..... 

last time we received the overall construction program...this one is in so much detail and new one will be issued every month....I mean....EVERY MONTH....

I have to say I am ultimately impressed.  The roles of builders in Japan and in Australia are so different.  In the context of M House, all the drawings we issued for the tender process (let me tell you, there were A LOT!), once we have selected the successful tender (normally tender goes to 3 builders for tender, M House was a little special, we went for 5 builders), the successful builder has taken the time to REDRAW all of our drawings with their in house staff....that way they can be 100% sure of all dimensions and every aspect of the building, and in the process, they also incorporated the structural engineer's specification.

one of the drawings "reproduced" by the builder

Of course the responsibility falls on us to check all their drawings now, to ensure our design intent details are not lost in translation.

.....still very amazed......
