Haha, option D is a bold move. "The contractor will just figure it out, right?" Not a chance!

I’m leaning towards coordinating with the mechanical engineer, but I wonder if that would delay the project too much.

I feel like providing dimensions and a notation could work, but it might not be enough if the contractor has already started work based on the original plans.

I remember a similar practice question where we had to decide if the contractor had to follow the design documents strictly. I think option D might be too risky.

No way, I wouldn't go with D. The contractor has to follow the design, so the designer needs to take action to fix this inconsistency.

I'm leaning towards A. If the designer just needs to update the interior design docs with the new location, that seems like the simplest solution.

I'm a bit confused - is the designer responsible for the mechanical drawings, or should they just be coordinating with the mechanical engineer? I'm not sure if C is the right call.
