Stop Fixing Your Designer's Drawings: Return Them With Comments

When a drawing lands on your desk wrong, opening the CAD file feels faster. This episode looks at why that habit can cost you more than the time it saves, especially on lump sum work. What we'll cover: Why taking the file back is tempting, and what it leaves unresolved for the designer An illustrative grading example where runoff heads toward a building entrance The real cost of taking corrections back, including fixed-fee rework and queued decisions A decision rule for who makes the fix, and when the lead should step in An illustrative fire-lane comment and a redline format that names the issue, impact and what to return Bring your questions about design leadership, review comments and how long corrections take to close. We'll take them live. This week, return one drawing with comments instead of fixing it. And if your team is simply too full to take the fix back, talk with us about Engineering Firm Overflow Support so you can stay in the lead's chair. #CivilEngineering #EngineeringLeadership #DesignReview Read the recap: https://mod-eng.com/still-fixing-your...
