"Now here is the real kicker: It is standard practice to GIVE these backgrounds to the Mechanical, Fire Protection, and Fire Alarm contractors for shop drawings."
Is that any supprise, I had to pick up some material from a secutity contractor, the subject of plans came up, when i told him we had to pay for the plans, he thought i was kidding, said they even hand delivered the plan sets to him, i guess electrical is an easy mark.
Maybe slightly off this topic, but still within the realm of bad plans, an email solicitaion I received made me think of this thread. http://www.lorman.com/seminars/teleconference.php?sku=373546&cd=13050:0:1:1:7
