A good friend of mine was an engineer with Bechtel and he made more $ being an expert witness than he ever earned during his working stint. He got paid so much per year on retainer as all big engineering lawsuits are postponed many times.

For a simple house, we have the residential building code, basically a cook book on how to build, so most plans will not have any structural details anyway. Those type of house plans just show room dimensions, exterior elevations, and aren't worth all that much. But for a large commercial building things are different. It has to have structural plans and details. And typically plumbing and HVAC plans. And electrical plans. All the stuff that is hidden by drywall and finish materials. So to repair or renovate a building like that without plans can get expensive. |

So the bottom line is you don't have the plans, the plans are nowhere to be found, but you know for a fact the architect messed up.
OK |

You hire an architect to do an as-built, as we are doing currently on a commercial building that I have under contract for a client.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tommy_Burleson I had an issue with him when I built my house here in 2005. His assistant couldn't read plans, got mad at me when I found out so faked the rest of his inspections, never filing the paperwork. Burleson was a complete asshole, and I had to hire a lawyer and teach him a lesson. |

Ca-ching! How much is the Architect's contract for? Divide that by the weight of a set of plans, and I'm guessing that they cost about what gold is going for...

Only in part because the contractor "just built it to print" instead of doing it correctly, and it passed framing inspection as well. Sharing is caring (the blame)!

It's the most likely reason based on the details that are both exposed and were partially hidden, based on my professional expertise and experience. And I may add, something that you are eminently unqualified to opine on.
