Suppose it depends on what your contract stipulated. I always have a clause that says something to the affect, "Owner must provide, at no cost to Fire by Knight, LLC, AutoCAD drawings, on a CD Disk or via email or other acceptable means, containing all drawings in "DWG" format as required for a fully functional design of the Fire Sprinkler System for this project". In addition to this a change order clause is included. Without this info your probably up against the niceness of the GC, and they don't sound like they want to play nice. Personally, I can never figure out why the GC, architect, or other refuse to supply this basic and important piece of the project. It seems to always lead to problems when someone else has to recreate others work.

In this particular case we are working on a large grocery store with (2) adjacent shops, we have offered to redraw the backgrounds for a reasonable fee and the guys thinks we're nuts....
