<FONT FACE="Times, Times New Roman"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>And this is why the code should not exempt residential construction from being designed by architect/engineers. You get people who are unfamiliar with, not current with, the codes. And doing the construction on top of it.<BR>
<BR>
Homes. It’s where people live, sleep, and raise their children. Don’t you think that this type of construction deserves the same attention and protection as other structures in order to protect people?<BR>
<BR>
How about we just call residences farm buildings and exempt them all together?<BR>

<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><FONT FACE="Arial">I have done my own drawings on a bunch of homes prior to the housing bust, and they were all designed by 1099 standards and language. I have not done one since the codes have changed. Can anyone help me with what the current design standard and necessary language that is required on the cover page of the drawings. The project I have coming up is residential and not on a barrier island, and I want to do Contractor sealed drawings.<BR>
