Outsourcing design and planning (those that really do the work) just seems like a bad idea. Having engineers involved in every stage of a project from design to completion seems the better way.
Can the lowest bidding firm, located in Florida, be expected to adequately layout a project in Alaska?
Projects I've been around have always been more successful when we do out own designs. When we've used outside sources, it seems we have to have a second tier of local engineers fix all the oversights when one gets into the construction phases.
Would Boeing ever seek outside sources to design one of their planes?
Likely the real issue is simply the problem of downsizing after a period of inflated budgets. Highly paid supervisors are where the serious bucks are. Start the clearing at the top.
