Per your request, Beck & Associates has completed a structural only review of the drawings and
calculations for conformance with the 2012 International Building Code (IBC), as adopted and
amended by the State of Washington and the City of Edmonds.
Our review of the plans and calculations indicates that corrections are necessary prior to permit
issuance. The applicant should address the following comments in itemized letter format in
addition to making corrections & revisions to the drawings.

foundation portions of the design drawings and specifications as indicated in their
geotechnical report (p. 14 of 15, Job No. 14-0614, December 4, 2014). GeoTest Services
should provide a letter summarizing their review. Any additional recommendations are
