Of course the original construction was done by the lowest bidder.

Thank the gods that no one was killed

I've seen these small temples being built.  Usually, the job was given to a friend of the abbot, who may or may not have any knowledge of building at all, then he in turn hires local help who definitely has no knowledge of anything but being a day worker.  It's a wonder to me more temples haven't fell down and killed people.
