Most doors and all windows by Fleetwood Windows and Doors were installed. The roof is almost complete. Translucent roof panels are not yet installed. The windows and doors are anodized aluminum. Although they they look nice and easy to operate, the craftsmanship is a little sloppy at some mitered corners,especially with the insect screens.

Purlins are up. Afaq Sawar, the Structural Engineer of Sawar Engineering, was at site for his inspection. The Owner was also present for our walk through. The project is being swarmed by plumbers. There are structural issues that we need to resolve, which may be lengthy due to many deviations from the plan. There are two options: one the contractor has to correct all deviations, or the contractor is to hire another structural engineer to review and perhaps approve all his deviation. If the later option is chose by the owner, we both need to be legally absolved from our responsibilities, and all burden shall rest on the other structural engineer and the contractor.

The project is looking good.
