    "Doctors are actually very lucky in comparison to Architects, because if a doctor makes a mistake he or she gets to bury it, where if an Architect makes a mistake, it's on display for the whole world to see."

    I can speak from experience to say if you have a layout of mostly the same bricks (and color) it makes it much easier to process your actions before hand. I took about 40 mins in building my Empire Statr Building and only 10 mins of that was actually building and the rest was planning (before even touching a brick). But I had all the same black bricks of 2x2 and 1x2 so it was very easy to work with in a set limitation.
