Holy Smokes – A Claim Case Study
2 AIA/CES LU | PDH | HSW Qualified
Discipline: Architect & Structural Engineer
Project Type: Church renovation and expansion: Poor coordination between the architect’s project manager and structural engineer results in a design that can’t be constructed. The contractor retains another engineer to move the project forward. When the contractor removes the shoring from the free-span ceiling, the roof drops several inches and causes an outward deflection on the beams. Accusations fly and lawyer fees mount.
