The problem is what happens if the drawings come back from the A/E
approved? I would assume that the insurance engineer would reject
them, but can you really count on that? What would be your liability
if everyone said go with the LH? The Owner, A/E and Insurance company
need to hash this out. If it were me, I'd put a hold on the drawings
until I get and answer (and put it in writing, of course). Keep
pushing, you're doing the right thing.

I have an interesting one now at a college campus in an 5 story 100 year old
arts bldg. renovation. The A/E contract documents indicate it's light
hazard. But there is a print shop, a wood shop, a foundry, kiln room and oil
paint studios and some solvent storage. Insurance engineer is asking
questions. After 7 weeks we are still designing LH per the contract
documents. I expect the plans to be sighted then maybe we can get a change
order to redesign it. I have no access to the faculty to ask questions. I
chose not to volunteer the upgrade without the change order. I have asked 3
different times for clarification. Am I going the wrong way here.
