I started in AEC in 1989. Most of the built environment happens without drama because only professionals are involved. Never showing up in the news except as a press release. And then usually not.
When amateurs are involved, so are unrealistic expectations. When politicians are involved, so is political grandstanding.
Finally, when the value of a project is the future revenue generated, budgets and schedules don’t extrapolate from your household experience.
Zero is the median number of construction projects people are involved in.
