I am looking at some plans and specs for a new building. In these specs, they specify that the electrical contractor will prepare a design and have it sealed by an engineer registered in the State of MD.
In other words, they don't want to incur the costs of having the plans sealed by an engineer before bidding, but want the electrical contractor to include it in his bid.
I've never incurred this type of expense before, and really have no idea if I am looking at hundreds, or thousands of $$$ for such a service.
Any of you have experience with paying for an engineer to stamp/seal your design? I would think that the engineer would want to design the whole thing, and not just stamp someone else's work ....
