Yep, I rarely come across accurate architectural plans. One tip. Check the window and door types they are actually having and create 1 of each. Then place these in the right places rather than copying the windows and doors from the plans. These are often just representative rather than what is to be specified. Also it would be diplomatic to ask for clarification from the architect rather than pointing out discrepancies directly to the client.
