Jstruct,
With no written contract you are working peace meal for him. He knows the responsibility and liability and is to cheep to pass pass along dollars to you. He can question a beam design , so what. You are working at his direction he is in responsible charge.
If I do like jobs like this...
I was told by contractor that the walls were x-rayed, which I find hard to believe. Probably some kind of R meter device, I have not seen the report yet. I also need to ask what about the lintel beams around the structure also.
Can you point in a direction of someone to talk too or paper to read.
I have a residential structure with cmu walls that stop at 8’ high, no connection or bracing to roof, and vertical #4’s @ 24-30”oc. Adding horiz. bars seems extremely hard to do except at top of walls to install diagonal...
