The distinguisged gentleman is indeed correct.  It is quite demanding,
requires huge amounts of time to accommodate all sorts of changes that the
Owner typically won't want to pay (to the Archt or Contr) for, and is
therefore not as remunerative as sexier stuff (like high rises and sports
arenas and other profit-making ventures).
And then we get to Histo Presto work which we all know is
