Half the names in the bid are on the next bid. Nobody checks who's actually turned up.
Ready before day one
The back alley's bill so far: 64 weeks · See the bill
Week 8: the site opens. I need a home that works before anyone tries to live in it.
The wrong way
Training is an email with a link to a PDF. Nobody opens it.
Access is set to "give everyone everything, to be safe". Rex, the new assistant engineer, gets the keys to every room on day one.
The naming rules are still being tested on real drawings. Real drawings get the wrong names, and three go missing.
Rex can see the cost reports. So can a fencing firm that left in March.
Sam, the firm's information manager, asks the obvious question.
Sam: Who gave the fencing firm the cost reports?
Everyone: IT.
The plan said train, test and control access. What happened was an email, live testing, and everyone, to be safe.
+3 weeks on the back alley's bill: A Site Office opened untested: three lost drawings, a fencing firm with the cost reports, and three weeks putting it right.
