Do residential drawings require an engineer or architect stamp?

No, residential drawings are allowed to be unlimited in size including the structural design such as gravity, seismic, and energy calculations including the details and are not required to be stamped by a professional engineer or architect. This can save you several thousands of dollars unnecessarily required by using a professional designer who has decades of experience instead of paying extra just for an architect or professional engineer stamp?

Do commercial drawings always require an engineer stamp?

No, not always. Only when commercial buildings exceed the exceptions in the state laws in which they are to be built are required to be stamped by a professional engineer or architect. These types of drawings, for example in the State of Oregon or the State of Washington would be any commercial building greater than 4,000 square feet in area or over 20 feet in internal height. These types of drawings are required to be stamped and prepared by a professional engineer or architect. If you require a building greater than two stories, or greater than 4,000 square feet then they shall be required to be stamped by a professional engineer or architect and additional cost will be incurred.

Do you provide building code seminars or code classes?

My Building Department is proposing two building code seminars scheduled for the Summer and Winter of 2025. These classes will be presented by the International Building Code Consultants, PC and sponsored by My Building Department.
