Contractors/Subs/Trades - What are the best CDs and Details you have ever seen?

I'm a young architect looking to improve, and I thought I'd begin with the folks who realize the designs. One of the primary contentions I've encountered in my career so far has been the criticism that contractor and builders levy on architects regarding their details and CDs.

Most of these criticisms stem from things like lack of information, disorganization, lack of thoroughness, etc. I'm curious then if any of you have examples or thoughts you could share that could help me to become better at performing my end of the job, and that would help you perform your end of the job.

As an aside, Thank you guys and girls for all the (often unappreciated by my field) work you do to create the built world. I feel too many of us pencil-pushers get stuck in a place where we forget that someone has to actually build the things we spit out of CAD.

How to adjust CTL track tension (VIDEO)

It’s one of the simpler maintenance chores you can do, but adjusting the tension on the tracks of your compact track loader is critically important. If your tracks get too loose, they may spool off the undercarriage and put you in a bind – replacing tracks in the field takes at least two people and often auxiliary equipment. If your tracks are too tight, they can damage the undercarriage and lead to premature wear. We teamed with Leland Garrison, service technician at Thompson Tractor in Birmingham, Alabama, for a quick lesson on the proper way to tension the tracks on a Cat CTL. Note that different brands of CTLs will have different ways to accomplish this task, so consult your owner’s manual or your dealer and follow their instructions for the brand of machine you have. And don’t miss our video of this guide below where Garrison takes you through each step of this process. 1.
