Residential Design Services
The IRC code has changed the residential design method for architects. The question to ponder is " does the
prescriptive method apply or do I need an engineer to determine the wind engineering on my project"?
The following are typical houses. The question is, Which ones require an engineer? Typically, look for
short garage walls, walls over 12'-0" or long walls without a support. Note the interpolation in the code is a
little bit more than confusing.
Few interpret the code the same. Check out the plans below, which ones need
a structural engineer, where and why? Your municipality may be lenient or proactive in the code.
If you need
support we are available and ready to complete your structural engineering.
