I do a lot of light commercial and they all call it "design build" Every now and then I'll get a project where the Architect layed out the existing sprinklers and indicated the changes needed ( often incorrect).
On any RFIs I always address them to "EOR" and I also refer to the sprinkler tech as "sprinkler layout technician" in all written correspondence. I've done a Walmart that had an EOR for a remodel and that was just a complete hassle. Sent from my iPhone On Aug 5, 2013, at 3:04 PM, "John Drucker" <[email protected]> wrote: > Roland.
