[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am trying to find out how others have handled similar situations. The contract specifically states that the contractor is to obtain the permits (there is fee built in for that) Instead, he refuses to communicate with the engineer to resolve the issues, leaving us with having to do it by ourselves. There have been some transparency issues that have made the process extremely frustrating. Yes, I am aware that the contractor cannot sign or seal the drawings, nor can he made extensive changes, but he assured us that the drawings "looked" fine when in fact they were missing very obvious and important pieces. (Which would bring us back to the poor and incomplete work from a structural engineers)

If this was just about waiting until the permits come through (i.e. lack of action from the reviewers) I would agree to just settle down and wait, but there are actions required, and without a response from BOTH the contractor who supposedly "handles" the permit application and the engineer we're left in limbo causing even more delays. IF our contract stated that permits were the home owner's responsibility, this would be a different story.

And yes, of course, we checked references which were all positive. [/quote]
