The Pendulum does swing both ways :)

It all comes down to the liability the EE will accept and how the plans affect the project. The plans should meet code requirements while conveying scope for someone to adequately price and build. For any unknowns, that information should also be disclaimed on the set to allow the contractor to include additional time to schedule and research.

In saying all this, while the plans are being bid or built this is a good opportunity to issue RFI's. If there is enough RFI's and/or costly, the GC / owner should evaluate the status of the plans. If the plans are not sufficient, addendum's should be issued to correct plan issues.
