Hello All:

I want to get your opinions/thoughts on a project.

Original 6000 sq.ft. house with 500 sq.ft.  2nd floor.  completely framed and Inspected.

Owner decides to make changes.  Original Architect & Engineer are from out of the area (over 200 miles one way) and don't want to deal with changes or new site visits.

I was hired for the changes only since it was framed and passed inspection.
Changes are four new patio areas 2000 sq.ft. new 1000 sq.ft. room added at one corner and second floor enlarged to 600 sq. ft. Most of the floor framing was already in place.

Alterations are signed off for structural.   Now the city wants me to become the new EOR and be responsible for the whole project.  There reason was it did not achieve final inspection or occupancy.

The only reason I accept the job was because the framing inspection had been completed.


What might be your thoughts on new fee and holdharmless clause for me to require of  the owner.
