Hey Guys, Just a quick question. I have a pioneer log home that is being designed by my architect, the same gentleman I bought the cabins off of, who has been doing this a long time. He is designing the house / foundations etc etc and then passes his plans to the Engineer who stamps the plans for approval, I guess if there is no glaring engineering issues. This Engineer has asked for all my contact details, sounds fair enough considering he's working for me?, but also the contact details, name and all of those details for the building inspector. Given my level of expertise (none) is this standard process or should this be raising alarm bells? Anyone know how this works?

neoborn; a little unusual that the engineer would solicit the info, but I can't see any harm in it. Maybe he wants it in case he needs to correspond on your behalf

Building inspectors can have different standards, or apply rules differently. Your engineer may just want to run something by the inspector in planning phase, rather than engineer it and have a costly change later.

If your engineer is not local to where you're building, he may just have a few local code questions.

Better now than later if that's the case.
