Keep it simple.

A structural member has been moved. Consult a PE.

Before recommending cunsultation with a PE for what is the obvious, I would recommend a prominent and well established Residential Contractor that is accustum to these types of building scenarios. I would let that Contractor specify further evaluation with a PE or Architect to take on the responsibilities.
Note what you see and recomend further evaluation by Builders specializing in that trade. PE comes next without your recommended liabilities for unnecessary expenditures that might be devulged by the PE once on site.

It might even be prudent at that point to say that the design of the original Proffesional Design was waived when the modifications of this sort occurred.
