The Sample Letter #2 to the Owner Clarifying Shop Drawing “Approval” follows through on the suggestions on Section 3.7.4 in the face of a condition where the owner “agrees as a practical matter” with the purpose of the words on the shop drawing stamp, but does not ultimately force the design professional to change it. Specifically, it:
* 3.7.5 Sample Letter #1 to the Owner Clarifying Shop Drawing “Approval”*
1. Defines those words that will be construed by the construction force to actually mean “approved,” regardless of what the word actually is, along with whatever qualifications that may have been part of the discussion.
2. Notifies the Owner that the construction force is relying on those words specifically as the owner direction to proceed with the work as it is described in the submittal.
