Not misleading, but illegal in most states. "Plan Stamping" or the
reviewing of plans prepared by others is not legal in any of the states

Its all a matter of wording.
Just cause YOU call it *reviewing* doesn't make it so.
I know plenty of architects and engineers that have boilerplate sheets made
up with stuff like standard details of headers, footing steel, sill
sections, etc. that simply date and stamp them and sell them to the
homeowner or others for a few hundred bux. The homeowner or builder includes
them with the rest of the permit package and everyone's happy. When the code
changed in 1992 requiring architects and/or engineers to stamp ALL plans
submitted for permit this created a finacial boon for all of them.
Architects and engineers design less than 5% of all the homes in SW FL but
they make money off of ALL of them, by law.
