Update on timing. l'm reviewing several construction projects receipted on Apríl 19,2022 and will be several days to a few more weeks before I reach your application receipted on May 5 to begin review. No formal plans examination for your project will begin until then. I discourage further conversation about your project until l'm able to begín your case review, as it will only delay timeframe I can begin working on your project. ln courtesy I opened up the BIN where your blueprints have been placed, and ALL DRAFT design professionals pretty clearly note an ASSUMED SOIL BEARING CAPACITY of L,500 and make the builder responsible and liable to verify the soils. This design circumstance is typical. An appropriate decision for plans examiner to allow for completing the structural examination and stamping the FIELD COPY of blueprints as APPROVED. BUT a typical instance whereby the property owner or builder start their excavation of the footing area AN D then hires a geotechnical engineer to visit the excavated area to CONFIRM the ASSUMED SOIL BEARING CAPACITY is accurate. Forgive if my original email lacked clarity or was misleading in some way, it was not my intent - see highlight below lf, however, the (structural) Engineer of Record incJudes an assumed soil bearing ... THEN the lot owner / general contractor will want to obtain the services of a Geotech to observe the site and prepare an operì hole soils report for the footíng inspection. Not needed for plan review, but needed attime of first inspection. When the garage permit FIELD COPY is approved, l'll place a red stamp on the front page and foundatíon detail pages that states: "OPEN HOIE SOILS REPORT lS REqUIRED AT FOOTING INSPECTION - PSF etc....."
