One of my wife's favorites was "pros" screwing up and nobody saying
anything.
The framers screwed up the truss package and there was a 2x4 sticking
out into the room. The rockers drywalled around it, the trim carpenter
put crown around it and the painters painted it. She caught it doing
the QA where another FM looks at a colleague's house.
She says guys never look up.

It wasn't so much a mistake but that the trim guy showed up before the
tile floor in the front hall was done. In a house a co-worker was
building. So the guy put the baseboards just above the tile where there
was tile, and just above the subfloor where there was no tile. I guess
you could have a robot do his job.

They had a powder room just off the front hall, and the made the door
open inward. So once you were inside you were in the way to shut the
door and the door was in the way if you wanted to use the toilet. My
house cost 1/3 of what hers did but at least my powder room door opens
outward.

Then there was the house they built in the road. (it was on the wrong
side of the survey stakes). Nobody caught that either. They ended up
having to replat the road. and swap 4 lots. It was lucky they didn't
do the house behind it yet. That is the danger when you are prairie
building
