"Steel detailers are the bridge between the design professionals and the trades"
Missouri Board of Review 1982 after the Kansas City Hyatt Tragedy
Often you work from design documents prepared by architects, engineers, and contractors. As you review the drawings and specs, you have, no doubt, found mistakes and missing information. This is often due to decreased fees and tightened schedules thrust upon the designers, leaving the burden to you to figure it out.
Communicating these issues to an architect by phone, while driving between jobs is challenging enough. Trying to have him/her visualize your issue, then understanding the verbal response with no written confirmation is very risky.
A drawing, explaining what you are building, and a place to clearly write questions, provides the designer a place to explain their intentions, and a document that gives you clear directive and back up in case someone questions why you did what you did.
