Residential shop drawings or shopping list
(OP)
I'm being asked for a "complete schedule of the hangers, brackets and fasteners" for a job we recently completed. This is the third time in as many months that I've been asked for something I have always believed to be the contractor's responsibility. This is one of the things that shop drawings are prepared to create.
Have I missed something? Is this becoming the new normal? Are contractors simply trying to pass the buck/cut back on their workload?
Most importantly: How would you guys and gals handle these requests? I have the feeling that to do it once is going to set a precedent... I'm happy to charge for the service, but it is not the Owner asking. The previous two occasions I turned the request over to the Owner, but I don't want to cause alienation with a client... *sigh*

In the US, the state DOT's typically require a complete list of materials on their bridge plans.
With building-type work however, we've never done anything like that.
