submitting that form will certainly help you vent BUT unless someone
dies or something falls down, it's unlikely much will happen to the
PE. At least based on relatively recent and granted only one state,
but a PE rejected plans two of the many listed deficiencies were: you
can not have two piping arrangements on a single floor (open floor
plan was gridded and next to the elevators, 6 enclosed room had a
single branch line and you can not have 6 sprinklers on a 1 inch
branch line. The 1 inch branch line supplied the enclosed rooms that
were each based on the room design with one sprinkler per room. WONG
but despite the contractor taking great effort to have the Board at
least tell the PE to stop playing in fire protection NADA.
In the annual reports from the states I am registered in, I have never
seen anyone even chastised for a fire protection offense. I can't say
I have studied or even read every report though. I suspect part of
the problem is that the Board of registration is made up of core
engineers that know nothing about fire protection so unless something
falls down or some one dies, such offenses must seem simply minor.
If anyone has seen a charge supported against such an offense, contact
me off-Forum.

I once took a conflict resolution class, I had to leave early to avoid
punching out the "If you keep it professional" and "don't get
personal, or
take it personal" you can resolve anything wench, so there is a "WIN/

I'm sorry, but I know when I've lost! How can I not take it
personal, my
money and I are very close! Corp. money may require the "Big

I'm a sole proprietor, and I AM THE BIG PICTURE!!!
As I get older, it seems more self evident that most Dumb Ass
engineers (No

off and crap down their pie hole.(And they said the therapy wasn't
helping!)
I've recently loaded the complaint form for the for the state board
of Lic.
for Arch. Eng. And surveyors. I expect it will be much used in the
coming
economic reality when Low price design teams will be king even more
than
they are now.
