What do you mean my permit expired??

Thanks Mark, with those could a homeowner do his own plans?

That's what the State of California allows.

Considering that light gauge metal framing details are found in the IRC, I would call it “conventional” framing and NOT require an engineer or architect.

Let’s start a collection for CDA to pay for a new permit fee ($125 +\-)

That's what the State of California allows.

See Post #23. State law only exempts wood frame construction from the requirement for an engineer/architect. I thought it was any conventional construction and looked up his reference to verify.

Ask and you shall receive:::



“””Nearly two years later, Howard and his wife, Merritt, are rebuilding in a way to avoid a repeat of the disaster. They're part of a small yet growing number of people building homes with a design and materials to resist fire. The Booster's new home will have a metal roof, and it won't have an attic or soffit vents. Napa-based architect Brendan Kelly says it will be "impregnable" using pre-fabricated steel framing wrapped in noncombustible insulation from Canada-based homebuilding company BONE Structure.””

It is allowed, but requires some other energy code improvements. R-50-something, solar panels, amazing windows with none facing west, or something else to replace the prescriptive high performance attic.

A performance design vs prescriptive eh?
