I would agre that this happens ALOT.

But in the end the structure is supposed to be inspected.

When I started in Project Management in 1964, I stayed on a major
project from tender award to final acceptance. By the time I retired
in 1994, I was lucky to make a site visit more than once per week. In
the early years, the contractor was free to ask my advise or suggest
alternatives, after my move to regional office, management attitude
was "let him build it as it was designed, and, let him figure it out
for himself. If he does it wrong, make him do it over (if we catch
it)" and ALL CONRACTORS ARE CROOKS. Need I say I was happy to take the
retirement package when it was offered.

Interesting and sad. The instant the "us-them" attitude arises, efficiency
goes down the tubes.
