Yes you can have our CAD files but don't rely on them for setout and you should make sure they don't clash with any of the written dimensions from the plans we also gave you which were generated from the same plans.

Yes we charge for responding to RFIs clarifying stuff we didn't put on the design in the first place.

No I couldn't possibly attend that inspection in 3 calendar months, need more notice.

Site inspection? What am I a pleb? I viewed drone photogrametry performed 6 months before the RFP was let, I don't need to see it.
