Oh yah, hiring a digger to map is real smart, since they bury all their mistakes to begin with. How about limiting it to people who know how a network flows? It ain't necessarily from the field bro, trust me, I've seen the mistakes.

Too much detail, not enough clean street-side runs.... A good mapper is a different breed, and he doesn't need to know anything about bug nuts....
