My experience is that responsibility for quality of any documentation
will vanish without people who have the depth and breadth of
experience to judge. You can't simply relegate your documentation to
contractors or CAD monkeys without background to understand how a job
is to be organized and how it'll proceed through procurement and
fabrication. Drawings or CAD files aren't the design--design is an
organized intellectual effort guided by physics and mathematics. The
drawings, in whatever form, are the means for communicating the
design intent, but they aren't the design. Where the drawings are
ambiguous, unclear or unreadable there is no quality, no matter how
good they might look to
a project manager.
