Definition
Licensed engineer holding both structural and fire protection credentials, retained by Homeowner to design a retaining wall system, who while storing equipment in the garage observes that the builder routed retrofitted sprinkler piping through an unheated garage exposing pipes to freezing temperatures—a fire protection deficiency outside the contracted scope but within Engineer A's professional competence to recognize.
