Does anyone have an opinion on responsibilities for dimensions on shop drawings?
While we do the structural design and provide general layout drawings of structural steel members, we always ask for shop drawings for structural steel buildings from the manufacturer. We then look over the drawings and approve them prior to construction.
By "approving them" do we accept liability for something that then ends up with the wrong dimension on site? Is there some kind of standard disclaimer note that we could use to say that we're in agremeent with the members and connections shown, but not the member lenghts?
