Fortunately for us our engineer firm is small and the engineers have a uniform method of how the want the final work completed.
The production of the drawings is our weak spot. We have found that if we work in our own model and have architectural link it in it goes a great deal smoother but unfortunately not very many of them like that method.
We recently struck up a meeting with our best clients expressing our concerns and our bidding structure and the changes we will have to make to allow for the additional time required to produce the structural models and it was actually well received and honestly the architect firms are feeling the same pain and having to me the same changes.
