One of the most important factors in structural repairs is to achieve the desired outcome without the need for engineering or permitting. The replacement of ANY structural member can precipitate the requirement for a complete code upgrade of the entire structure which can easily add thousands of dollars to your project.
Most such repairs are on structures that were built years or decades ago under a different set of Building Codes. A simple $300 repair on a second story balcony deck can easily turn into a $10,000 project if a complete code upgrade is required by the permitting authority. At CBCI, we understand the requirements of most local building departments and, when we do not, we meet with them to make sure we are clear on their interpretation of the Uniform Building Code. Then, based on your project objectives, we develop a strategy for the project that minimizes or eliminates the requirement for costly code upgrades. When code upgrades are required, we understand the latest technology in wood structural design and can develop the most cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing solution for your project. Our innovations have saved CBCI customers hundreds of thousands of dollars on their projects.
