I am in the process of building my home on Sugarloaf using my own plans. Need an engineer to review and or design my roof and foundation and sign off on it. May need to have my septic engineered also. I like to support the climbing community so if there are any climbers who are licensed in Colorado that can

Let me know your fee. Many thanks,

Never too early to start planning the statics for supporting boulder walls under the roof.

Just be sure to use extra long nails on the roof and shingles since the winds get to be 120+ mph up there sometimes! A little thought concerning the occasional wind blasts might be beneficial in your houses longevity as well. My girlfriend's Grandmother has lived 2nd house from the top of sugarloaf for over 25 years. She's always telling stories about the wind and *other* people having problems, but never her...

When I built my house, I needed a licensed surveyor to sign off on the plot plan. He used my digitized plot plan, my figures from the benchmark, my legal description of the land, the prints supplied by the septic contractor, in short did none of the work himself, took my check for $500, and at the last minute took it upon himself to alter a plot plan that I have been designing and perfecting for over 15 years by moving the house 75 feet (!!!) back from the road.

I was presented with a fait accompli 24 hours before the building permit was required, and my options were to reschedule all the subs or else live with the extra large front yard and smaller backyard. Since the property line is about 1500 feet back I ate the 75 feet, but that surveyor owes me, and one of these days I am going to collect in flesh. be careful, leave extra room, inspect the hell out of other people's work, and make sure you have a performance clause in the contract.
