Good Morning
I gave this  presentation 2 weeks ago at the National Frame  Builders Expo In Columbus, Ohio.
We felt that this presentation would be of good value to present to the Code Officials Conference.
Today we are going to be discussing the elements of Post Frame building specification & plans.
We will also be touching on some design elements.
Since I am not an Engineer I will not be discussing in depth about the designing aspects of a Post Frame building.
The next page in your hand out is a newsletter article from the Delaware Licensing Council for Professional Engineers. The article discusses about how plans have been sealed without undergoing the benefit of being subjected to structural analysis. I believe that this is also happening in Michigan. I encourage you to read it at your leisure
