Builders stop reading plans when engineers issue poor-quality drawings. Then, when things go wrong, builders have no explanation for the failure.

How about this: make your engineers provide what they were engaged to do.
READ THE PLANS.
If engineers issue poor-quality plans (or reports) send them back to be fixed. Force your engineer to provide what they were engaged to do.
Builders: stop carrying the risk of poor-quality plans.
2. Ask lots of questions.
3. Get errors and missing information fixed.
Put the risk back on your professional engineer. You paid an engineer so you have someone to blame. Get your money’s worth!
