Have just had the 'joyous' experience of a site where some of the planning (mostly trench edges and land-drains) was done by GPS - for some reason this resulted in no one even attempting to produce acceptable pervitrace site drawings!
Classic! An infinite number of monkeys might knock out the odd script for Hamlet, but you also wind up with an aweful lot of broken typewriters! :o)
As for those A1 drawing boards, how much do you put aside to finance damaged-back lawsuits? With a little intelligence (I know, a dangerous assumption!) those little A3 sheets can be "stitched" together in CAD or Illustrator to make your nice big section for publication. All they need is consistent keys around the ends so they can be joined up.
