Conclusions | Things we might have changed

Vibration should be systematic and even throughout the wall Use more caution during pour (chamfer strips) Dont assume anything. - Jan Swan (footing below)

We could have drawn more detailed drawings before construction instead of fast-tracking Pay attention to the politics in any job Have clear communication with everyone involved
