Errors & omissions (Real Estate & Property Law)

Tue, 18 Dec 2001 10:51:00 GMT

I am located in New Mexico. To what extent may architects and engineers be held financially responsible for mistakes in their drawings. Assume their are costs to demolish work in place, costs to rebuild the work correctly, interest carry on loan expense due to delays and loss of lease revenue due to delays.
Thanks,
MitchD

  • On a mixed use three story building the drawings incorrectly showed the bearing height of the roof framing. The building is structural steel with structural metal studs. The fabricator supplied shop drawings with the incorrect bearing height. The structural engineer and the architect approved the shop drawings. The fabricator supplied the columns and beams to the dimensions shown and the erector placed them. At this point the error was found. My contract is with the architect. The structural engineer's insurance company has agreed to pay the costs to take the beams and columns down and replace them to the correct height. Assuming that it can be proved that this problem created a two month delay, is it likely that we may be able to sue and win damages for two months of carry on the construction loan and two months of lost revenue ( the building is to be leased)?
