Does a builder need to provide engineering drawings to the concrete subcontractor upfront?

Yes, genuinely essential — a concrete subcontractor can’t accurately price or plan a slab, retaining wall or foundation without the certified engineering drawings specifying reinforcement, thickness and any special requirements.

Providing these upfront, rather than partway through quoting, also avoids the genuine risk of a quote needing revision once the full engineering scope becomes clear.
