Municipal / agency reviewers are not part of the process that can be controled, re educated, shown the light or otherwise be motivated to change what they want to see for the designer's convenience. Their design criteria is LAW and while some departure might be overlooked in special circumstances, they will always get what they want to see.
Yes they will... as bad memories a some clown that would NOT even review sewer plans should the pipe lengths NOT be excactly divisable by two(2) comes to mind. However he was eventually fired by the city for same.
What I was speaking to in terms of generating the plans LAST is that one should at least try to get as moch of the initial design concept done, and completed as much as practical internally before ever trying to meet the demand for those early plan sets like 15% submittals etc.
As there is no good reason to not do so, and it prevents one from needing to start off going in circles. Granted as the design evolves it might still come to pass that sheets are added or removed from a set, however nothing on the scale of redoing ALL sheets, or manually adding all pipes and structures simply because the water, strorm water, or sanitary pipes were not designed prior to creating the sheets, given that one knows that said pipes must need to go into the ground.
