I'm usually a lurker on here but I thought I would chime in here.

I work for a design build construction firm in southern, NH "no plug needed" and I'm a project manager and I also do Autodesk 2008 AutoCAD drawings.

In these days we have more clients coming to us for design/build services as its my more cost effective to have a construction company design, draw, estimate and have a structural engineering company do a peer review on the project rather than Architect.

This practice will be come more common as it saves the client thousands of dollars, in your case a budget number would of been established prior to drawings based on size and materials and a plethora of small details a very good estimate should have been established.

I have worked on houses, churches, industrial buildings, commercial buildings etc. saving the clients a substantial amount of architectural services.

I have done some side work for a structural engineer that works with the business your dispute is with, the firm seem to be very upstanding its a shame they are not even responding to you.

Good luck in the future and don't be afraid to use a reputable design build firm in the future.
