30 West Oak Street a model design for a concrete residential building.  Even though the building was completed several years ago, we keep a roll of drawings in the office to refer to whenever designing a similar building.  One of the most experienced engineers in the office was responsible for the project and produced a masterpiece of simplicity in the drawings.  The complete set for the 20+ story building is only a handful of pages.  It has just the necessary information and no extra stuff to confuse the contractors.  Too often, engineers make things more complicated than they really are.
