On August 14, 2020, I hired Mr. ******************** to perform the engineering work on my single family residence project. He informed me that the design plans and reports will take a couple of months to complete, so it can be summitted to Snohomish County for the building permit. The initial deign plans were submitted to the county in January 2022, 17 month after Mr. ******************** started his work. The county provided review comments in May of 2022. Mr. ******************** mentioned that the comments were not a big deal, and he will modify the plans as per the review comments. Mr. ******************** said that it should take him a week or so to complete the plan revisions. Until now, Mr. ******************** has not worked on the revision, and has been very unresponsive and basically ignoring the many many attempts to reach him by phone, text, and email. I paid Mr. ******************** the vast majority of the fees, so there is no payment issue, and he has not asked for any payments to complete the work.Mr. ******************** delays, inactions, and lake of caring has resulted in significant financial damages to me in additional lot loan payments, big fees to renew the lot loan, not to mention the inflation cost for delaying the construction of the home.I feel so helpless. I cannot hire a new engineer to complete the work. Most engineers I contacted said they cannot put their stamp on someone else's work, so they have to start from scratch, with means new engineering and permit fees, which I cannot afford. I wonder if you can help me! or suggest a recourse action.
