Bad Drawing and Change Orders

When a contractor bids on a set of drawings they are supposed to ask about anything they are unsure of  so there are no serious items left out.  When a set of drawing is bad it can lead to a multitude of questions from a honest contractor looking to give an honest price.  If its a low ball contractor they will willfully interpret the drawings in the cheapest way in stead of asking questions.  So if you have a bad or incomplete set of drawings you know you have a multitude of change orders coming if you go with the low ball contractor because the job is the job and  it requires what it does to finish it properly.  Or you can just not finish it properly and have a piece of shit building.  It is well worth the initial expense to pay for a good architect and a good set of drawings it makes for a lot less change orders no matter what contractor you choose.
