For instance, we ended up with a 23" telco rack filled with 19" equipment and 23" to 19" converter panels. General tidiness; a contractor left a large splice-box laying on the floor in the midst of a slack-spool instead of wall or rack mounting. Another contractor developed a spider's nest of wiring in our server room instead of structured cabling. Specifying exact rack sizes, specific cable management, mounting locations, etc... would have helped a lot. Photos of the specific areas would have helped immensely.
This seems like an altogether excellent time for me to remind people about http://bestpractices.wikia.com and volunteer it[1] as a place in which to capture these sorts of, among other things, pictures of installs, both good and bad -- along with notes as to *why* they are specifically good and/or bad.
