8. Local Engineer Review Requirement

Because building codes and requirements vary across all 50 states, including soil conditions, wind and snow loads, seismic activity, fire risk, zoning rules, and other regional factors, all plans from JL Barndominium Artists must be reviewed and approved by a licensed local engineer or qualified building professional with knowledge and experience in your area before you begin building your home.
