An architect is working on a site plan for a new expansion. When referencing the drawings from the civil engineer that were created using a computer-aided drafting (CAD) program, the architect notices that the scale is different between the two files, resulting in discrepancies in geometry.
What should the architect do to resolve this discrepancy?
I would really like for BlackSpectacles to reword this question. The question states as if the Civil engineer is using a different scale, not unit measurement. For instance an architect using a 1"=40’-0" site plan and Civil using a 1"=30’-0", the architect is correct in suggesting the civil to adjust their scale. I would never scale down a Civil drawing on my own or change their unit measurement.
