We have had a extension built and signed off by the local authority but during the build a structural engineer had to do an extra calculation due to our builder ordering some steelwork that was a different spec to that in the plans. The steel work was fine and the engineer wrote and confirmed that this was the case, about 3 months on we get a bill from the engineer via the architect we passed it straight on to the builder, his mistake, his bill. While he has not paid it the engineer has written to say he is withdrawing his approval for the steel and revoking his approval claiming the building sign-off will be revoked. When I called him to say we would pay as the builder wasn't interested he told he wasn't interested in talking to me about it.
The architect has said he can't do this, anyone have any local authority experience of this nature, or have a view on where liability lies?
