We’ve all been there. After enough time in this or any industry, you will encounter one. The Blowhard. The person who knows it all, and not only wants to tell you, but they will also insult you along the way.
In the case of my most recent experience, our “blowhard” was an owner’s rep. But with over 27 years of experience in this industry, I’ve seen this type of person appear as an owner, a general contractor, a trade contractor, an architect, and, yes, a fellow engineer.
