INTUITIVE ABILITIES IN CONSTRUCTION

And while discussing with the foreman, it had been seen that there was a general lackof insight in doing finishes. It had been sited that most of the finishes done by this foreman was good but then he would spoil the work done in a particular sectionwith works unfinished in other sections. He knew it, I knew it. So then, it was notnecessary to tell the foreman what to do! All he could have done was to figure outways of protecting the earlier finished works from getting spoilt. Likewise the column pedestals had not been done at the same level by the previousforeman. The current foreman was to do a good finish on the pedestals taking intoaccount the levels but he did not do it. And so he had taken it for granted. Afterdoing the finishes did he realise that all the pedestals were not level. Then did I come in to tell him why he had not seen the problem, then I had to go through asmall lecture to teach him about intuitive abilities. I feel it's much my responsibility to teach these guys and not to simply assume thatthey know.Hey do you get the picture?
