It's permanent but only on a temporary basis. Duh.

That's the terminology that they used on their website. So obviously a smarter person than I wrote it.

Right now, with the influx of northeners coming to Florida from inner-city tenements, and subdivisions popping up in every old orange grove - this is "high end" construction around here.
My neighbor had some jackleg Disney friend build his pier and the guy put the upright posts in sone QuikCrete footings instead of "jetting" them into the lakebed. The whole pier tipped sideways during IRMA.. |

I've asked for them, but so far have received no information if they have them or not. Believe it or not, I've found it rare for an owner to have the original plans to the multi-million dollar building that he owns. If he does have them, they are rolled up in some dusty, neglected space, like on top of an HVAC air handler.

Fact is, I'm likely the most qualified individual in the region to design this repair. And if it does go through a legal process to obtain funds from the original contractor or architect, I'll most likely get hired by an attorney for $400/ hour as an expert witness. |

Question:
Is an expert witness a witness that is an expert, or an expert at being a witness? |

I've testified as an expert witness many times over a 25 year period.
I found it very satisfying. Now back to the regular program. |

The county permit office usually has the plans on file. You may check there. |

I was surprised myself to find clients/ building owners who had no copies of their building plans. The early part of my career was mostly working on public projects in Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut, and each had dedicated libraries of plans dating back decades. As a "maker" of plans, we consultants were extremely careful of using the best, most permanent media to deliver to our clients. Ink on mylar. Winston-Salem was the same. In the last ten years all their water, sewer, drainage and street plans have all been scanned and accessible to me through a web site that I am registered with. And they are all organized using GIS protocols. All I have to do is enter a 911 address and a list of relevant plan sheets are returned. But private business is far different. Many owners just don't understand the value in a set of original plans or as-builts. |

Unless you’re the first owner of a building, AND you were involved in the construction, why would you have the plans? We’ve owned 10-12 houses and never had plans except for the one we had built.
