Sagging prefab wood Girder Truss on custom home under construction 3

[AELLC]

I am the EOR for said house. When the concrete roof tile was stacked on, a girder sagged badly, probably big mistake by truss co.

They sent me a repair method for my approval, but to me it looks bogus. This just happened late today, and I will study it more closely tomorrow.

My question- who is responsible for what here?

I was being a bit melodramatic with "far away land". Some states in the US are simply La La Land to me.

A few years ago, I had to disapprove a cold-formed steel truss submittal 4 times before they gave me trusses that met all of the design criteria.

I thought this repair was a done deal last Saturday.

Yesterday, I kept getting calls from the truss mfr. Still not done. At least, they are now offering to pay me for my time, so now they are my new best buddies.

The funny thing is that you never talk to an actual engineer at the truss companies. Just their "Designers" and other job titles that get thrown around. To have some fun call the truss company and ask to speak to whomever's seal is on the job. Good luck with that.

There are no engineers at the actual facility, and the guy /ga who stamps the calcs is usually doing that for more than one truss mfr. Yup.

When I ask, they always give me the contact info for the satellite engineer. When contacted, the engineer seem sto be more than happy to help.
