Engineering Plans
Standard Plans:
Standard engineering plans are generic blueprints designed to meet the general requirements for metal buildings across various regions. These plans typically cater to buildings ranging from 12 to 30 feet in width and 6 to 14 feet in height, ensuring they comply with the highest wind and snow load standards applicable in most states. Standard plans streamline the approval process, making it easier for customers to quickly receive a viable and compliant blueprint without the need for extensive customization, which can be both time-consuming and costly.
Raised Seal Plans:
Raised seal plans are custom-engineered blueprints tailored to meet specific regional requirements that standard plans may not cover. These plans bear the raised seal of a licensed engineer, certifying that the design adheres to local building codes and regulations. Raised seal plans are particularly crucial in regions with unique environmental conditions or stringent building standards. They provide a higher level of assurance and are often required for permit approval by local authorities, ensuring the building’s structural integrity and compliance with all relevant codes.
High Snow/Wind Load Plans:
High snow/wind load plans are specialized engineering blueprints designed for areas prone to extreme weather conditions, such as heavy snowfall or high winds. These plans account for additional structural reinforcements and design considerations to withstand significant environmental stresses. This includes using stronger materials, additional bracing, and optimized roof angles for effective snow shedding and wind resistance. By following these enhanced plans, builders can ensure the metal building remains safe and operational even in the most challenging climates, reducing the risk of structural failures and potential hazards.
Having access to a variety of engineering plans ensures that metal buildings can be customized and reinforced to meet the specific needs and regulatory requirements of different regions, providing safety, reliability, and peace of mind for both builders and occupants.
