[quote=Anonymous]The dormers would need stamped plans; presumably your architect provided those? If not, are they coordinating a structural set of plans (architectural is one thing, engineered plans are another, although some architects can and will provide both). If your nanny's guy can read those plans, file for permits, do the work according to the plan (to the letter), get it inspected, finalize any issues, then sure. There are also a bunch of details related to venting and insulation (or creating an unvented roof assembly), as well as HVAC, that will require detailed knowledge. Someone who ran a framing crew may have no clue how to handle the whole assembly (for that matter, some of the "big companies" don't get this right, either!) [/quote]
