HVAC Building Construction Question

Hi,

I am an entry level engineer working in an engineering firm. Our 100% construction documents have been submitted and the building now is under construction. However, I found that some of my calculation in selecting some equipment was wrong, but a submittal of this equipment is now submitted for our review. May I know if I am going to admit that I did the calculation wrongly, and we actually need an equipment with a higher horsepower, will it involve some delay or addditional cost of construction? What is the normal way to deal with this kind of situation. Althougt we can ask them to resubmit with a new selection, but for sure the contractor is going to be mad at us, and complain with the owner also. What should I do?? I don't want to lose my job because of this.

Please adise...Thanks.
Tom

As was said early on in the thread, if you think you have a problem as a rookie, don't just ask here, but talk it over with your boss (engineer, architect, or owner) and let them assist you in making a thorough assessment of the situation and possible remedies. You don't want to seem like a KNOW-IT-ALL who doesn't see him(or her)self as not capable of making mistakes. Learn from this and apply that knowledge next time.
Good luck.
