P.E. Stamp on Steel Joist Shop Drawings
(OP)
Frequently I specify steel joists. Typically, we do not require that the shop drawings be sealed by a licensed engineer. Is this typical in the industry? Does anyone require this?
Should I be requiring this?
Should I be requiring this?

It's just like requiring sealed shop drawings for general steel members on a job - you want them to be sealed because someone else designed all the connections. Why would you accept the liability for that?
From my experience in the Southeast, it is typical in commercial construction to require sealed shop drawings. Only once have I had a problem with this requirement. I'm not sure about other parts of the country.
