Building a house and building a warship: imperfect information

What similarities and differences are there between managing a house build and a warship build?

Both involve reconciling the desired result with imperfect information and dealing with things going wrong. The house example has a single project manager, but no detailed warship-management comparison is developed.

One contributor uses a house project with a single project manager to compare construction problems ashore and at sea. House and warship construction share the problem of reconciling a desired outcome with incomplete information. Decisions must account for the gap between what is wanted and what is actually known. Both projects also require handling faults and disruptions as they appear, although no detailed comparison of their organisation is developed.
