Whats the situation of this case?
A three story building office is soon to be turnover (two weeks). However, after reviewing the punch list it was discover that the subcontractor installed different type of sprinkler head and within all three floors the subcontractor design it.
After looking at the case carefully it’s no doubt the General Contract fault, since he/she supervises whats documented. At this point it is not necessary to change the sprinkler heads since they work properly, but if it fails safety inspection, then it will be mandatory to change them.

License Architect: Yes or No?
After discovering how many years it will take to become a license architect , I believe it still worth it. Might take a while and its a huge risk, but having the perks after becoming a license architect, is an accomplishment. Not only will I get to hold the title of being an architect but, I will feel more involve with the changes of architecture. Designing buildings, owing a firm, the value of just being a license architect is the same value as someone being a doctor, a lawyer, scientist, etc. In my option, it’s an enjoyable career. However, getting there will take devotion as well, a balance between life and work.
Dream Job
Throughout elementary, teachers would ask the kids what they wanted to be when they grow up. During that time, it seemed that most of the kids wanted to be architects, nurse, and teachers, while I had a dream to become a mechanic. It didn’t take long to convince me that I wanted to be architect. I enjoyed drawing, crafting and designing, which I figure I would fit the picture of aiming to be an architect. During my middle school and high school years I started to grasp some sort of an idea what an architect is. Not until college, I learn there so many branches to architecture and a whole process to get a structure complete.
Personally, I’m glad I didn’t change majors. Looking into the future, my dream job, would be working as a license architecture in a firm. Able to designing all kinds of buildings and having to travel to different countries for meetings. Currently I’m unclear to how to get there. In general, the only plan I have is get accepted to an internship and after graduation, work in a firm for a couple of years and if necessary, go back to school and then prepare my self for the license exam.
