The Engineer already informed the Contractor before that plans should be submitted in professional way (Double

How the Engineer can review HVAC design without knowing the dimensions of each room ?
The Engineer cannot accept that the Contractor is not reflecting the Engineer's previous comments (i.e EG-
P36_Lot-2_ENG_00113_Tech_Renovation), please reflect the comments before sending any new correspondances
