Hello Rick
It seems like the state of Nevada or whatever agency has jurisdiction
over your building permits has quite a few different ideas on how this is to
work.I know they all do it different but thats not going to change.If your
building department requires 2 signed/sealed sets of drawings,that does not
mean they have to be from Trylon.Any state licensed engineer in good
standing(in the state you desire to secure the permit in) should be able to do
this for you.Also they may not want to see the calculations for the wind
loads,base details,just that this application meets this criteria.My last set
of plans (Nov.03)Say meets 140 MPH wind criteria and all other applicable
codes.No calcs or any thing else on there.Now some reviewers can be picky and
ask for these but most are not engineers and don't know what they are looking
at any way!There has got to be an engineer in your area that does all this work
no matter what.If it were not for these guys nothing would ever get perm
itted let alone built .Seek and you will find him.Try to find someone who is
familiar with your local building department.A contractor or permit
expediter.You gotta know the system if you want to make it work for you.And
last but not least make a friend with one of the clerks at the front
counter.These girls know the whole system and can make things slide right
through.On the other side of the coin they also take an incredible amount of
crap from irate customers.These clerks make very little pay for the abuse they
take.I really don't know how they do it.I just know I could not put up with
it.I'have sent many orders of coffee and doughnuts to city clerks just to say
thank you.Whose stuff do you think gets worked on first the nice guy who is
polite and brings coffee,or the nasty one who complains every time he enters
the building?Keep trying persistance and knowledge are the keys to success!
Hope this Helps 73 Joe K4XZ
