And the same manner of building superior golf courses is the same as 100-years ago. Though planning, bureaucracy and construction equipment have changed drastically, the fundamentals have gone unchanged because it's as much or more an artistic and strategic pursuit as engineering.
So, as with 100-years ago the most valuable asset an architect can offer is his time because it's not about plans, it's about people. It's about vision. Communicating that vision... personally. Getting and keeping the guys doing the building involved and enthused.
Giving workers a sheet of paper and letting them toil in your absence for long periods, coming by to edit the work once in a while is the old standard, but not the best standard because...
...eventually something falls through the cracks.
