00:00 - 00:03We propose to build the most beautiful wastewater plant in Rheinland
00:04 - 00:05We will fit it into the existing brownfield site.
00:05 - 00:07Incoming sewer from parliament here
00:08 - 00:12We will perform verification on the requirements line by line by line.
00:12 - 00:15And we are locked into a key quantities agreement with the contractor
00:17 - 00:19And we have plenty of time?
00:19 - 00:21..and resources to do this job?
00:24 - 00:26Jeff
00:27 - 00:28Beca
00:31 - 00:33Beca accepted a 9 month shortneing of the deisgn program
00:34 - 00:36And the client is playing hard ball on everything
00:53 - 00:58Only the mechanical lead, electrical lead, structural lead remain
01:13 - 01:15MAKE EVERY DAY BETTER!
01:15 - 01:17how do we make every day better?
01:18 - 01:23Sol left, why are we still getting cut apart?
01:25 - 01:28If anyone says "quality" again they are being shot
01:29 - 01:31and don't start me on 3D model coordination
01:31 - 01:34The contractor are playing us for fools
01:34 - 01:37"can we just move this thing here, and that tank here?!?"
01:37 - 01:40I'll move the tank up you're arse next!
01:40 - 01:42I tried to follow the PPR and help the contractor arrive as a design
01:42 - 01:46we'll never please them all!
01:46 - 01:48But I'm in meetings cornered by Rob
01:48 - 01:52Death by 1000 vendor cuts
01:53 - 01:54vendor data at 50%!
01:56 - 01:57What happened to us, we were on a winner?
01:57 - 02:00I think I would be better born before the depression
02:00 - 02:03This way of delivering a contract is garbage!
02:04 - 02:08Then we decided to split the packages!
02:08 - 02:13Split the 12 packages and create more documentation!
02:14 - 02:16And they had the gall to suggest a RESET last year!
02:17 - 02:21"OK, we've reset, take this lead designers, but no program change!"
02:27 - 02:29I feel I'm becoming older by the week
02:30 - 02:34the design comments are like bullets
02:34 - 02:36what happened to Steve?
02:41 - 02:42we let him down..
02:43 - 02:47and don't get me started on the HAZOPs
02:48 - 02:53"We.. must have the documentation 14 days beforehand!"
02:54 - 02:5614 days before means dleivered in the past!
02:56 - 02:59Oh great, I'll change the design report template right before 80%
03:00 - 03:02Am I in sick dream?
03:04 - 03:07dont worry, you followed the template as ordered
03:14 - 03:16I hope they speak of our bravery in the halls of Icon in years to come
03:19 - 03:23If we ever get out of this, I am going to start painting
03:25 - 03:26gentlemen
03:31 - 03:33Is this project going to win an award?
03:40 - 03:46Because if they do award something, it will be called the "Slap in the face award"
03:46 - 03:49but at least they put on a bbq once in a while
03:53 - 03:56and Alan said "10 year relationship" at one point
