My father is a project manager for a construction management firm, he recently had an electrical contractor on a school project.(green project) The spec showed the use of compression fittings on all conduit, the contractor used set screw. When the engineer did a walk through he noticed the set screw and was going to have the EC redo all fittings. They came to a compromise and the EC had to compensate the difference in cost.
Long story short DO WHAT THEY ARE ASKING FOR! If you have suggestions submit them to the engineer. Most Spec books and prints say that the EC is responsible for making sure the project is done to code. Ultimately the EC will be the responsible party not the engineer/architect for following the code..
