True story. Place I worked was building a new building at a plant site. When the job was “finished” there was a large pile of structural steel still laying there. Seems the contractor misread the plans and left out 25% of the beams.
I read a similar comic. Except it was the building of the pyramid. It was only three feet high. The foreman says, “Wait I put the decimal point in the wrong place”.
Mad Magazine had a classic cartoon, where a fly lands on the blueprints at a construction site, and is swatted by one of the workmen. On the next page, in a panel that takes up the whole page, we see the completed office building — with the image of the swatted fly built into the exterior of the building.

Reminds me of the old Looney Tunes cartoon, “Rhapsody in Rivets”.
