    I have also run into this issue and had to stress with clients that in some cases delays in permitting can end up costing as much or even more than just doing something right the first time. Most clients are very receptive to cost benefit arguments when presented from a professionally objective point of view. At the end of the day, the client did hire you for your expertise, and if there is a better way of doing something or better product to be used it should be considered part of your job to offer the pros and cons of the alternatives. Not that I think many professionals do but, to merely follow client instructions and stamp drawings with blinders on is a disservice to the profession.

    Erin,
    I’m studying for section E to take in June and live in the city if you want to try and get together. Is this your first time taking any of the graphic portions? I’ve passed everything but D and E at this point and this is a re-take for E. I’m pretty sure I know what I did wrong but it is always good to have a fresh set of eyes on a drawing after staring at it for an hour or more.
    Let me know.
    Geoff
