I'm inspecting some safety critical facade installations which the contractor has installed using a different type of epoxy than what is on the sealed shop drawings. As the Special Inspector I told them they needed to get the changes approved by the EOR but they only got an email statement from the staff engineer approving the change. I've since told them they need to get the EOR, who sealed the drawing to approve the change. By the way engineer who sealed the drawing does not work at the design engineers office but it appears he was hired to presumably review and seal the drawing since he has licensure in this state.
Do others agree with my logic here or should I accept the design engineers approval? It just seems like the liability and responsibility has become obscured and I do not want to expose myself to what should be the engineers liability.
