A pipefitter at the Mobile job site asked why my ductwork drawings looked like lasagna and honestly he had a point
He said my 6 sheets of overlapping duct runs confused the install crew so bad they built a transition backwards, and now I draw one clean run per sheet like he told me.

Wait so did the pipefitter actually catch the backwards transition before it got welded in, or did they have to cut it out and redo the whole thing? That part matters a lot because if the crew built it wrong off your drawings then that's a real cost hit and somebody upstream is gonna want to know why. I'm curious how you handled the fallout too, did you have to eat the rework time or did the super just shrug it off since the fitter flagged it early? And when you switched to one run per sheet, did that change how you detail the elevations and offsets at all, or was it mostly just untangling the overlap? Feels like there's a whole lesson buried in here about how we show stuff versus how guys actually build it in the field.
