Title Block Initials
Title Block Initials
(OP)
The title block for some of our clients includes a box for "Lead" or "Lead Engineer." In some instances, the Lead or Lead Engineer is not the same as the Engineer of Record (the one stamping the drawings). The EOR is in responsible charge of the drawings, of course, but the Lead is the person who is handling the project as a whole, including administrative stuff, schedule, budget, etc.--this does not even have to be an engineer, it can be an architect or designer. In this scenario, we put the project lead's initials in the "Lead" box, and the EOR stamps the drawing as usual. However, a fellow engineer believes that the EOR's initials should always be in the "Lead" box. Does anyone have an opinion on this?
Thanks in advance.

"Lead" as you refer to it (I've seen 100 different iterations of this), is simply a housekeeping thing so we know who on staff knows all the intimate details of the project.
RE: Title Block Initials
If you want to have a "Lead" called out on the drawings to make it easier to come back to a project in a few years... do whatever you like with that.

i definitely want any unlicensed engineers who worked on the project to have initials on that DES line. i feel i get better work from them if they have a sense of ownership.
