Question #12, Case 2: Subcontractor quality control This general contractor was constructing a very sensitive medical tenant improvement (TI) project. The superintendent was very laid back and the project manager was at times combative with the client and the architect. The architect noted two quality control concerns early in the project that warranted more attention. These were the preparation and flashing of roof penetrations and the taping and fireproofing of the vertical drywall surfaces. These conditions occurred around a medical procedure room that required the close attention of all the team members. The superintendent's response to the drywall issues was, "The subcontractor is the expert and I don't tell him what to do."

Caselet 2: You are an environmental engineer for one of the many local plants. That plant discharges effluents into a lake in a flourishing tourist area.

Your responsibilities are to monitor the water and air discharges at your plant and the periodic reporting to Dept. of Anti-pollution. You have just prepared a report that indicates that the level of pollution in the Plant’s water discharges slightly exceed the legal limits. Your supervisor says you should regard the excess as a mere ‘technicality’, and he asks you to ‘adjust’ the data so that the data appears to be in compliance. He says that slight excess is not going to endanger human or fish life any more than if the plant were actually in compliance. However he says, solving the problem would require a very heavy investment. He explains, “We can not afford new equipment. It might cost even a few jobs. It will set us behind our competitors.…
