Their ACAD skills are worse than those of a boiled turnip. Architects always assume they never make a mistake and the rest of the dumb masses can't tie shoes w/o help...Yet if you ask a question, they cannot answer it: Specs, Plan View, and Elevation View do not agree. What should I do? Answer: Bid and build according to plans and specs! And how is it we have to send in RFIs and allow two weeks for a response, if we EVER get one, but we have to respond to requests from them in 7 nano-seconds? Why do they play "Where's Waldo?" with info and details on the prints? Can't put all the info in the dwg pkg? and then tell you it's your fault that you didn't know thus and such, but you never got an answer to your RFI 'cuz you sent it in too close to the cut-off date. Not to mention that they never have details that actually look like how it is really built. They hang stuff in the air w/o support (sky hooks?) They spec stuff via some boiler plate crap that was written in 1947 or before and want you to stick to it even if it doesn't work...Sorry, I'm getting crazed. Architects and their shoddy work cost their clients money. They should be avoided like a rash. Goober Squidly is right, but he doesn’t expand on it enough.

Do any of you really know an actual architect? I assume goober squidly does (some of his points are more or less correct - regarding SOME architects). Some of them really are a horse's ass. No lie. However, Engineers are ...not perfect. Lazy? not wanting to take ownwership? Let the the "stupid insipid architect" bring the "big picture together" and sweat the details - I'm too good to worry about all that "unskilled" coordination work that the dumb-ass architect has to do. The architect is where all the consultant "input" comes together and is coordinated. This is the sad part - instead of making any really creative contributions to human "built environment" architects are relegated to keeping all the crap together that leads up to a successful design-bid-build process. (Or more and more - design-build - which is far worse - no time for any "design" - you'll eat up any bottom line you MIGHT have had). If you want to make a difference - become a city planner, (after working in architecture a few years to find out how bad it sucks). Hmmmm. Do any of you really know an actual architect?

I have workin Engineering for 20 years now and it is SO apparent that you guys / gals cannot use AUtocad to save your LIFE! Learn What NORTH is. Learn that Not all lines are 90 degrees. (Like Streets) they look 90 but they are NOT. Offsets from these lines affect the project. When an Engineer gives you a Base Drawing.. DOn't Scale it. Don't ROtate it. ANd PLEASE PLEASE Learn how to use more than 1 layer. Not all lines go on the SITE layer. I wish Architectural schools would teach some of these basic principles and learn how to get along with Other Disciplines. Out ! Man I HATE You stupida insipid ARCHITECTS.
