An architect with enough reputation to get hired for a nationally prominent project would forget to get a structural engineer’s assessment before telling The President Of The United States “it would not be structurally sound.”

While not a nationally prominent project, the well-regarded contractor I hired to remodel our present home failed/forgot/neglected to get permits for his (in-house) structural engineer's plans PRIOR to creating the bid I signed.
Only after beginning did we find out there shoulda been a property survey AND a geological survey FIRST to make sure permits would be issued....and that the cost would be substantially higher as a result of the additional foundation work the geological report called for.

but then.... I'm not a spray-tanned, combed-over stable genius; one of the greatest developers known to man.
