The engineer of record is the licensed professional who takes legal and professional responsibility for the engineering shown on sealed permit drawings. The stamp certifies responsible charge and code alignment of the engineering design, not perfect cross-discipline coordination by itself.
Structural systems, load paths, code compliance for the engineering scope, and the documents of record the contractor must follow unless formally revised.
It does not certify full arch/MEP coordination, shop fabrication quality, or field-built conformance, those sit in other contracts and review paths.
Delegated packages still require explicit EOR acceptance, the EOR cannot silently offload incompatible assumptions. Coordinate via disciplined submittal review.
Code-compliant structural sheets can still clash with ducts, shafts, or civil interfaces. That is a document-coordination class of risk, where AI drawing review cross-referencing disciplines complements the EOR’s engineering scope.
Licensed PE responsible for sealed engineering on the permit set.
EOR holds seal and responsibility; EOD may produce work under supervision.
Generally tied to design in documents vs contractor execution issues.
Yes, for conformance to design intent on engineering submittals.
