Current Code Cycle

Updated for the current code cycle.

California’s current building standards moved all wildfire construction requirements out of CBC Chapter 7A and into the new California Wildland-Urban Interface Code (CWUIC), Title 24 Part 7.

Seismic design now references ASCE 7-22. Many engineering firms are still working off 2022 CBC templates.

Our calculation and detail packages are built to the current code — which means fewer plan check corrections and faster approvals.

FAQ

Questions GCs ask before signing.

Do I need a licensed Structural Engineer (SE) or will a PE suffice?

For single-family residential construction in California, a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) with structural expertise can sign and stamp drawings. An SE license is required for certain commercial and multi-story projects. We will confirm jurisdiction requirements at intake.

Can you work directly with my architect?

Yes. This is the standard workflow. Your architect sends us the architectural set, we produce the structural drawings and calculations, and we coordinate on any conflicts before submittal.

What if the building department comes back with plan check comments on the structural drawings?

One round of plan check comment responses is included in all three tiers. Additional rounds are billed at $150/hr.

Does the like-for-like streamlined process change what structural drawings are required?

No. Streamlined permitting reduces planning and zoning review time, but it does not waive the structural drawing requirement. Every rebuild still needs a complete PE-stamped structural package for building and safety approval.
