Delivery of Shop drawings
(OP)
I have a question, when the shop drawings arrive at the architect office from the general contractor, who is responsible for getting those shop drawings to the structural engineer, is it the architect responsability to send them to our office or do we need to go get them.
Thanks for your comments.

With that in mind - what is the good business practice to follow?
Either talk to them about it or include it in your fees.

However I think JAE is right. If they were my client I would ethier have some one pick them up or request that the Arch. courier them to me at my expense.

That said if he is refusing, you should arrange to get them and bill the project.

In addition to them being your client, this is your last opportunity to review the design and correct any potential errors, which, protects your license. You are also getting paid (or should be) to review them. How awesome is that? Getting paid to review your own work. In my limited experience (15 yrs), I can't tell you the number of times I've found an interference, discrepancy, etc. while checking shop drawings. Thus, either protecting me or my boss from no telling what, and my company from backcharges.
