Structural design is the engineering and calculations that determine if the structure complies with the local building codes. Structural design includes numerous categories, from the foundation on which your home is built, to a ridge beam that supports the roof over your home, and includes the interior bearing walls and all of the exterior walls. An architect or an engineer is required to provide plans and calculations to the Department of Building and Safety if altering any existing structural members. Architectural plans and engineering are also required when building a retaining wall or a deck that will exceed height limitations set by the local building codes.
Free standing block walls that are 6’ high do not need plans; however, since the 1995 earthquake, the city has certain guidelines to follow and permits are required. If a decking project does not exceed the height limitations set by the building codes, neither plans nor permits are required.
