Unconventionally Framed: When to Enlist the Expertise of a Structural Engineer

by Kari Sebern – Vector Collaborative It’s a fact; many times residential structures are simple and straight-forward enough that a structural engineer is not required.  Pre-engineered wood roof trusses and engineered wood floor joists or trusses are common.
