Not where I really want to be
This is on a barrier island the house has existing since 1939 and is located in an exposure D 170mph wind zone. This is some of the framing changes underway.

I would double check the engineer's registration. The bolt group on the rafter ties makes no sense whatsoever, not in arrangement or fastener selection, it has carpenter logic written all over it.

I can’t make the meeting, but my structural guy will be meeting with the engineer on the job site today at 1 PM. I went there this morning to spot check and found a few framing issues and some fire blocking issues that will be happening in the future, based on some of the double wall framing.
