Not where I really want to be
Now they are out of the prescriptive codes for framing and wall bracing (12' max) with this change without notice. Was there for a footer inspection in the back.

In all seriousness, probably not a huge deal. Will need some design work done, but probably easily fixed. At least it looks like they take some sort of pride in their work.. appears to be decent.
 
I have no idea what would be the solution but i suggest you to do not forfeit and i am sure you will be rewarded soon.I know it is insane to go for the construction in this high prices market as this is due the global crisis that has been in the economy for the past three or four years now.
 
They hired an engineer who started specs on a fix then decided to refer it over to another engineer who provided specs on a method to fix. It was basically completely reframed from the inside.
