During a recent inspection, the building official noticed a few structural items that were different from the drawings and
required an engineer's review of the changes.
On December 111h, 2019, 1 visited the site with the contractor and reviewed the alterations. During the site visit, I
observed the following:
• The 6x6 posts on the main floor were replaced with 46 posts and connected at the top with EPCZ post caps.
• Hangers for the 4x Beams were all replaced with Simpson HGUS410.
• The roof valley beams were originally designed to be connected via custom steel fabricated connectors, but
instead the roof elevation rose and the valley beams were able to bear directly on the ridge beams with a small
bottom flange cope.
The contractor has done an excellent job with the framing overall, and all of the above items meet or exceed required
strengths and are acceptable as installed.
I believe this report addresses your concerns. Please give me a call if have additional questions or need further
clarification.
Sincerkly,
Jordan Jones, PE
