Ever see those carefully designed holes in structural beams? They're not just for decoration! The structural engineer spent FOUR WHOLE DAYS designing those perfect penetrations for pipes and wires to pass through. Then the building services engineer comes along and says "Nah, I'll just route this pipe AROUND the beam instead!" The photo shows the pipe completely missing the available hole, running alongside the beam instead. It's like watching someone use a hammer to screw in a lightbulb when there's a perfectly good screwdriver RIGHT THERE! This is why structural engineers develop eye twitches by age 40. Construction coordination fails are the engineering equivalent of stepping on a Lego barefoot!
