==================
JIM WELLER Said to DAVE DRUM about Flat Roofs

JW>  DD> clear span inside without anything but the builder's
JW>  DD> imagination to help the roof hold a heavy load of wet snow.

JW>  JW> And how does such a builder get a permit? Are there no codes?

JW>  DD> Many times the owner is the builder and knows nothing

JW> He still needs a permit to proceed.

Maybe. Here in Spring-A-Leak if the project is out of common sight and 
the neighbours don't rat you out the building inspectors will pay little 
or no attention. And, after the stuff has been in place for five years 
it is considered "grandfathered".

JW>  DD> And in many jurisdictions the building codes do not specify
JW>  DD> restrictions on clear-span roofs, roof pitch, etc.

JW> Ours does. Actually it merely says that roof truss systems (and
JW> foundations) must be engineer designed. The city inspectors don't
JW> give advise but do insist on seeing the engineer's stamp on the
JW> drawings and that construction conforms to the plans submitted when
JW> they come out for their inspections.

Our local bird-cage liner did a series on building permits and 
requirements and how loose things are - in an attempt to force the city 
fathers to tighten things up. Among other things were photos of 
submitted (and approved) plans drawn on a cocktail napkin (more than one 
plan), crudely drawn on a child's tablet, etc.

BTW - the attempt at legislation by journalism went down in flames.
