      \n What are contracting terms unique to engineers and architects? <\/i>\n <\/h3>\n\n
      \n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      Engineers and architects, either by contract or by statute, generally have a defined standard of care.\u00a0 Further, if that design professional has extra degrees, licenses, certifications, fellowships, etc., their standard of care will likely be higher than standard.\u00a0 Design professionals should also be extra careful about contract terms regarding intellectual property, limitations of liability, insurance disclosure, consequential damages, etc.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

      \n Am I liable if something was not built right? <\/i>\n <\/h3>\n\n
      \n

      Maybe. Whether a project was built per code, per your plans, per the change order, and per the standard of care, are all legal questions to be determined in order to assess liability.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n \n <\/ul>\n\n \n<\/div>\n\n\n
