What actually got built.
On every job there are two sets of drawings. The design drawings show what somebody in an office decided should happen. The as-builts show what actually happened once the wall was open, the slab was off by three quarters, and the duct had nowhere to go.
One is a wish. The other is a record. The trades are the distance between them.
Every piece here carries one mark from that record — set small, set straight, no explanation printed anywhere on the garment. If somebody has to ask, that's the point.
