Agreed. The issue we have seen is a lack of interest by registered design professionals to provide designs this area in sufficient detail to ensure the contractor can actually construct it. They also have concerns that they will be required to provide enhanced scrutiny necessary to ensure it is constructed in accordance with the design.If the latter, there are many details that can work around this issue.
This is not intended as a rant against RDPs. When owners are looking for the cheapest RDPs out there and you want to work, you have to ensure you can provide code compliance on a budget.
More of a rant against owners cheaping out on design services...
