This is the company that did my original plans. They have been unresponsive for a week, otherwise I would have asked them to get me a seal.

I'm not assuming anything... It is the responsibility of the design professional to know the legalities of their own trade. If I can definitively demonstrate or have evidence that the laws of the state are not followed, it is encouraged by our State Licensing Board to submit documents to them for investigation. If laws are not followed, design professionals can and have had their licenses revoked.You are assuming the original drawings were done by a licensed person
Simple span calcs and uplift restraint into masonry are fairly simple.... not sure that I agree that engineering is required. Seems to be a cop-out.
I'm in the same boat. we check these types of structures for zoning compliance, not for code.Agreed....We approve things every day that do not fall nicely into the IRC....Say center bearing decks...A 300ft structure is almost exempt for permit here...
If it were mine to review, I'd just run the beam calculations and provide call out for the proper beam and beam connector (such as an ECCLQM - linked). Aside from that, it is typical joists (2-H2.5 uplift connectors per rafter).Agreed....We approve things every day that do not fall nicely into the IRC....Say center bearing decks...A 300ft structure is almost exempt for permit here...
Does it explicitly, no.How does it comply to the wall bracing sections of the IRC?
Airplanes fly because the air moves over the top surface, not because it pushes up on the bottom surface.Yes I am as the underside is exposed ( a potential kite/sail).
Not sure where you are in NJ, and not sure what your plans look like, but I have done many a carport and awning structure in NJ and what you posted a link to on the other forum looks more like a carport structure or awning structure.Ok.. So can anyone give me an idea how I can get past this? Can I re-draw the plans as a homeowner and just remove the roof?
drop by Cabelas on the way so its not a total loss.
