Are plans permanent?

That depends on what kinds of plans you are talking about. Plans with a friend, no... they can be changed at any time, and often are. Sometime you think a plan is firm, and then the other person doesn't show up. Definitely not permanent.

Construction plans are a lot more permanent, and after the initial planning phase, changing them can endanger the safety of the project and the people that will be using the resultant building. The blueprints go on record, and so they are permanent in a way.

Company plans are more permanent than plans with friends, but less permanent than construction plans, usually. Everything can change depending on market conditions, the whims of investors, a new CEO, a merger or takeover... or just the mood of someone in charge. :)

There are a lot more examples, but those are some different kinds of plans. I would say, in general, plans aren't permanent, but there are certain types that get closer than others.

Why were gargoyles placed on buildings and what was their purpose?

They were put on buildings to scare people into coming to church. If they did not come, they were condemned to live with these horrific creatures for eternity. Wrong!!!!!!!!!! The real answer is: Gargoyles are weird stone figures which are half human and half animal or half bird. They sit on edges of roofs of many old cathedrals, palaces, and other buildings. But these frightening figures are not there to frighten away passers-by; they serve a very useful purpose. Gargoyles are actually waterspouts to catch the rain as it flows off the roof. This water is piped into the mouths of the gargoyles and is emptied into the street, instead of dripping down the sides of the building and damaging it. Stoneworkers who created these gargoyles in medieval times are said to have represented their friends in the grotesque forms of these gargoyles. Some people believe that gargoyles were named from the French word gargouiller, which means "to gargle." Perhaps this is true, since people do make strange and even grotesque faces when they gargle water in their throats.

What courses do you take to become a construction worker?

There are no special subjects, but being good at math is a plus. You do however, if you want to be ticketed, need to go through an apprenticeship course, 4 years usually , and you take tests each year or you'll need to get four years of experience and then go challenge the carpentry test. A lot of people in construction do not have a ticket.
