Okay, I'm the engineer, and I reviewed the light fixture submittals for the job and missed that the voltage for one type of fixture was 120V instead of 208V as the plans show. So the electrician who ordered the fixtures charges the owner extra to pull the neutral for the 120V fixtures. Does the electrician not share some responsibility for not reviewing his own order against the plans? The way I understand it is that submittal review is a service to the engineer's customer to make sure they are getting the quality of materials that were specified in the plans - not a tool to relieve the electrican from any responsibility for the order. It's not I sealed submittals (that the electrician submitted!)
Engineer's Submittal review--what are the ramifications/liabilities of mistakes?
