Are you trying to get a stamp on the truss design? As in an engineering analysis of the truss?
Pretty much need to get or do drawings for this building and have them inspected revised or adjusted in order to be approved to get a building permit.
These two don't seem to go well together. Its expensive to fly and maintain a plane.
The building I had purchased was off of Craig's list. It was put up and taken down by a second party that was going to be put up until he found out he couldn't put up a steel building per code. Only wood. So he posted it and I had bought it for $1.500.00. A week later someone had posted 2x6x12's, and 2x6x16's for 400.00 bucks. Plenty enough for the building.
I sounds like you bought used trusses manufactured by the previous corporate version of Miracle Truss.
Any competent structural engineer can analyze your trusses assuming they are in good shape.
However it sounds like you need the trusses analyzed and stamped plans for the building.
If so, start shopping for a local engineer.
Bring a quality sketch of what you want, dimensions and pics of the trusses.
They will be able to give you a firm fee. If not run.
You best price is going to be finding a engineer that works out of their home, is semi retired or such.
Going to a glitzy high rise, expect to pay more and be way at the bottom of their priority list.
That's exactly what I need. I'm just not sure how much detail I need to draw. I guess every dimension of every truss as far as diameter of the webbing and angle used to make the truss? Nuts and bolts? Etc..
I have a Miracle Truss building, the trusses are pretty conventional design. The wood purlins are the only thing thats somewhat different. I think an Engineer should have no problem coming up with the load ratings, etc. If your only in 2K so far, your still ahead. 14 years ago, my 30 X 60 kit ( trusses , roof & siding metal + doors but no wood was 13 K. I think the wood alone was $1700 back then.
You wouldn't buy any chance still have your drawings just to see what I need to present? Or the anchor bolt plan?
Is this a building that was taken down? If so there might be drawings on file in the town or county wher it was previously.
The guy I bought it from didn't have the persons phone or address to whom he bought it from. Apparently he purchased it from a lady who's husband had died and was in great debt. So she was selling everything she could to pay all the bills. He went to the property where it stood by itself, took it down and brought it home. Just to find out he couldn't use it either.
So this is where I'm at. I love the design it'll work perfect for all my cars and projects. I've priced pole barns and that's just not an option. I don't have the money for another building and concrete. I'll get some pictures up as soon as I can figure the easiest way to post them. Thanks very much it's very much appreciated.
drives me crazy. (Hanger 1) in their photos.
