Common use of Review of the Engineer Clause in Contracts

Review of the Engineer. (a) The Engineer will review and act upon shop drawings and samples with reasonable promptness so as to cause no unreasonable delay in the Work, but only for conformance with the design concept of the Work and with the information given in the Contract Documents. The review of the Engineer or its agents of a given item shall not indicate approval of an assembly in which the item functions. (b) The approval of the Engineer of shop drawings or samples shall not relieve the Contractor of its responsibility for any deviation from the requirements of the Contract Documents unless the Contractor has informed the Engineer and the Owner by separate written letter of such deviation at the time of submission and the Owner or Engineer has given written approval of the specific deviation, nor shall the approval of the Engineer relieve the Contractor from responsibility for errors or omissions in the shop drawings or samples.
