Reply To: Survey Liability Release

[LM]

Yes, it’s standatd to sign a release in exchange for receiving another consultant’s autocad file(s). The use of release forms in exchange for .dwg files is not limited to surveyors. Usually the release language is really sweeping, and says you agree that the info is accepted as-is, the .dwg might contain drafting errors, and might include a virus. Some are worded more ominously than others. I’ve never had a problem either way.
