If I'm working on a project for a client, I can't just show them "progress" and then deliver a final product that's substantially different than what I showed. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Unfortunately, the public are very lowly valued stakeholders in this, which is a shame. We aren’t seeing progressive design iterations and providing feedback the same way the “clients” are. The final product won’t be a sudden, unpleasant surprise for Metrolinx as they directly influence the designs, especially to be VE’d.

If I'm working on a project for a client, I can't just show them "progress" and then deliver a final product that's substantially different than what I showed. It's a waste of everyone's time.

Again, it's a P3. The problem isn't presenting early designs, it's people not understanding what they're looking at.

I agree, for example, that it's silly Metrolinx and IO don't coordinate so Metrolinx releases renders of station exteriors that will ultimately actually be within a TOC. It is kinda a waste of time.

But in this case, they serve as a testimony of where the design is at and there won't be any actual renders from the P3 partner for probably a couple of years so I just take it for what it is.
