But why was it not picked up by an inspector or supervisor? Irrespective of
what the drawings may say or imply, any fool would spot that it didn't look
right within a few seconds as James did when he passed through on the train.

Any contractor building it would build it to the drawing they had
been given, even if they can see that it is wrong. Their reasoning
is that it is a lucrative daywork to put it right.

This wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

The amazing thing is that it wasn't picked up at any stage
pre-construction. Once drawings are status "A", they just get built,
as they've been approved for construction as-is.
