Decision question
Should Engineer A formally report Engineer B to the State Board, or limit his response to a private confrontation out of friendship and compassion for Engineer B's post-stroke condition?
Focus
Following the basement structural failure, Engineer A discovers through Engineer R's independent review that Engineer B's design work contains serious errors not only in the failed portion but also in unbuilt portions of the structure. Engineer A must decide how to respond to this confirmed evidence of impaired practice by his long-time friend and structural consultant.
Option1
Report Engineer B to the State Board immediately upon confirmation of serious design errors, disclosing Engineer R's findings and the materialized structural failure to the proper authority
Option2
Meet privately with Engineer B to confront him with the faulty design and Engineer R's report, relying on personal intervention without filing a formal report to the State Board
Option3
Retain Engineer R to redesign the unbuilt portions and proceed with corrected construction without reporting Engineer B to any authority, treating remediation as sufficient response
Role
Engineer A — Client/Retaining Engineer with Knowledge of Impaired Practice
