OUCH! That hit a little close to home. I understand that change orders are the way to make bank in the subcontract world, but must we be so hostile to each other. I don't pretend to know everything (there is simply too much for anyone to know it all) and am willing to learn from any reliable source. But if the PE is a "burro" about things I can see letting them have all the rope they want to hang themselves. But do you really want to do that to the owner, it is not his fault.

(I am but a humble Layout technician who works at the direction of the PE, so says the SFPE white paper. I am not qualified to question the PE on "Design" application.) Like everything else, the owner will end up paying for any mistakes the PE makes. Thom McMahon, SET Firetech, Inc. 2560 Copper Ridge Dr P.O.

The Engineer is saying that is they are not occupied then he doesn't think sprinklers are warranted. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field) _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://fireball.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum For Technical Assistance, send an email to: [email protected] To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[email protected] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
