This seminar is a joint effort with Weyerhaeuser and Simpson Strong Tie, to provide assistance in providing code accepted plans for your customer and building department. We will show you through our software how to specify the proper floor systems and girders and the correct connectors and fasteners to support those systems. You will find that these plans will allow the builder to follow and insure that the building that you are designing is built according to those requirements.

The presentation will also demonstrate software to provide wall bracing details which are now required by the NJ IRC2015. We will include you with a sample house that uses all this software and instruct you on how to use these tools with your next project.
