Structural permits for San Dimas houses pass through plan review at the office that handles building for the city, and its plan checker sees our drawings before a single anchor goes in. Whether the job is a bolt and brace retrofit or a beam that replaces a bearing wall, that reviewer looks for the same thing. Every load has to travel from roof to soil through members and connections that are drawn and sized on the sheets.

Sheets that answer the reviewer

A retrofit set calls out each anchor by diameter and embedment, the plate washer that goes with it and the spacing along every run of sill. Braced cripple walls get a plywood grade, a nail size and an edge pattern, with hold downs where the plan needs them. A beam job adds stamped engineering for the span, the end posts and the pads under them. When the plan checker returns comments, we revise the sheets and resubmit, and the permit is issued once every comment is closed.

Inspections in the order work is covered

With the permit in hand, an inspector visits at each point where work is about to disappear. New footing trenches get a look before concrete is poured. Anchors and washers must be approved while still exposed, and plywood nailing is checked ahead of the vents and access panels going back. A final visit signs the permit off. Jobs in La Verne, Glendora, Covina and Claremont nearby go to the building department serving each city, and the survey, drawing and inspection steps stay the same from one address to the next.
