Good evening.
Just received a set of MEP progress plans for a commercial project I am working on. Client did not go with my recommended firm, they hired this firm directly. Firm is based out of state but seems they have an NJ licensed engineer who is going to sign and seal the drawings.
I open up the drawings and BAM...to my surprise there are the MEP designs, on my title blocks! All they did was edit my name and license number with an engineer I have never met or heard of.
My first reaction was that it was very uncomfortable to see, mainly since it was a surprise and done without my permission. On the surface it looks like this guy who I do not know works for my firm. They even kept my initials in the "drawn by" box.
I consider myself a team player but this feels like someone just walked into my front door without knocking. Is this standard operating procedure?
