Because average annual snowfall accumulations in mountainous regions exceed the loading capacities of what typical span tables take into consideration under Part 9 of the BC Building Code, Resort Municipal authorities require that homes constructed in snow country be reviewed by a Structural Engineer.

• A preliminary review of the proposed design drawings.
• A preliminary inspection of the site to examine soil conditions.
• The preparation of a quote that will include the scope of work and a schedule of fees.
• A preliminary mark-up of the structure with suggested beam sizes and layout to be reviewed by the Client, Architect & Builder.
• A final Engineering mark-up that includes structural notes, details and schedules as required by Municipal authorities as part of the Building Permit application process.
• Ongoing site visits during the building pad preparation, pouring of concrete and erection of framing sections for the project.

Schedule of Fees:

• Engineering $145/hr
• Drafting $70/hr
