AIBU if I expect the structural engineer I'm using and the architects I'm using to communicate? For context I'm PM, as they say on The Apprentice.
Got an email from the architects on Thursday with the tender pack for our ground floor extension. They point out that they've gone for timber frame construction for the walls and roof - great, totally sold on the benefits of this. But also notice in the tender pack that things the structural engineer had raised haven't been incorporated.
Next day get the plans from the structural engineer, which are unsurprisingly not for a timber framed extension. Now he's chasing me for his second (and final) payment, but as far as I'm concerned the job isn't done yet.
AIBU? With hindsight I should have provided a read out to the architects after the structural engineer's site visit. But this wouldn't have dealt with the timber frame construction which seems rather fundamental and I imagine he'll have to do more than some small tweaks to incorporate this.
