There is a certain mentality that takes pride in its' own "cleverness."
It's hard to remain professional when you're surrounded by cheapskate contractors and semi-trained "professionals."
They're afraid to pay you to run some cords correctly..instead denying reality and leaving it to the snuffies to scrounge and improvise. These are the same guys who think it's perfectly reasonable to eliminate such "frills" as trash collection, dumpsters, and toilets.
I don't know that any solution is possible.
