Have you ever encountered a situation where a design institute provides drawings without putting a stamp on them?

Dear colleagues, recently our company has collaborated with SEI and the Ningbo Institute. All the construction drawings prepared by SEI and the Ningbo Institute lack the official drawing stamp; only an acceptance stamp for the base maps is present. The design qualification numbers are printed directly on the sulfuric paper drawings. Currently, for completion inspections and submission to the archives, it is necessary for the drawings to have official stamps. What suggestions do you have to address this issue? (It has been confirmed that SEI indeed never had a stamp at all)
These days, for convenience, design institutes usually stamp the design qualification seal and the drawing release seal directly on the base map before printing it, but I really have never seen a case where the seal that isn’t supposed to be used for releasing drawings is applied. Drawings without stamps are considered unacceptable; actions such as following the terms of the signed contract, refusing to pay, filing claims, terminating the contract, and going to court can be taken
SEI is so great; if the contract is terminated, the project won’t be able to proceed
The as-built drawing must have the design seal! Contact the design institute to make it up.
The as-built drawings indeed do not bear any stamps; they only have the as-built drawing stamp. If **filing is required, contact the project manager to have the drawings issued again
If what you say is true, sei must have its own way of dealing with it; just ask them how they usually proceed. Everything I work with comes with the original seal from the blueprint; it’s not possible to use sulfuric acid paper for printing.
Is it because of qualification issues that no stamp has been issued? Without the chapter acceptance and filing records, it’s impossible to pass.
It’s not a big deal either; according to the requirements for completion inspection, having the design institute add it back should be no problem.
It’s convenient for the design institute, but the question is whether the inspection agency will approve it! Let’s communicate.
The as-built drawings, especially those related to pressure pipelines, require not only the design firm’s seal but also the appropriate seal for pressure pipeline design; it is necessary to contact the design firm to handle this matter
