Contractors do weird shit. Your blueprints won’t always be accurate.

Don't forget that they can't be accurate when the home owner decides to changes the plans after they're made too.

Happens way too often to us as electricians.

The plans can show where the sinks and showers and stuff are, but they don't show how the pipes get there. The plumber can route the pipes anyway they want. And the electrician can route the wires anyway they want. And the ventilation people can put the ducts anywhere they want. The details of these things do not show up in the plans.
