My architect delivered plans With Wrong room Dimensions!
Dear BP Community , I need your advice on how you would handle this situation.
I am deep into my first fix and flip in NYC. I just determined that my architect delivered plans/renderings that are not accurate. My plumber discovered this when planning for the installation of new pipes. After taking a closer look and measuring myself, I found there are rooms that show windows where windows are not even located! This is not a small mistake.
In NYC the inspectors seem to prey on this kind of error and a violation could pop up any moment. That's not all - Framing has begun and we worked off of the plans. Now we are realizing some rooms need to be reframed. This lack of attention to detail is costing me time and money and I have clearly lost faith in this architect. BUT I need him to finish the job.
So as I mentioned - I would love some constructive feedback. What would you do in my situation?

Good that you caught it early . Years ago we layed out a foundation , dug it out , poured the footers , had the block layed and the homeowner shows up and tells me we set the foundation backwards . I break out the plans and we set it according to the plans , the Architect had everything 180 out . It took 2 months to resolve . We got paid for the first build , demolition , and the rebuild
