Quote "I cannot tell you how many meetings I have been involved with where all the client wants to pay for is a "typical" or "boiler plate" design.
It puts undue pressure and additional scope on the subsequent trades.
It puts a good engineer in an uncomfortable spot and allows a incompetant engineer to hit a home run and keep putting out crap."
You hit the nail on the head, Pushing off design details, is in my opinion very un-professional.
