It's because they let the same company design and build the interchange and own the concrete plant. "Design-build" project delivery. It is the same reason why the new HSR projects in California have ludicrous vertical and side clearance compared to other countries with better/cheaper HSR.
- bluGill 2y agodesign build works well for things they copy often. A design build house is your best deal on new construction. When things are unique costs blow up
- garaetjjte 2y agoI don't follow, why they would increase their costs on purpose?
- kube-system 2y agoNo clue as to the validity of the above claim, but some contract types expose the customer to actual costs exclusively. e.g. T&M or cost-plus.
- bluGill 2y agoWho is they? The desingers charge to more for harder designs so the more it costs the more they make. Similar for the builders.
