The architectural project defines how a building looks and works; the structural design defines how it stands safely. This part protects your investment and is also needed for the building permit.
In this article
What a structural design includes
- the foundation plan and details;
- drawings of columns, walls and beams;
- the floor slab and roof structure;
- details of the stairs and other load-bearing elements.
Why it needs geology
The foundation type depends on the soil, so the structural calculation relies on a geological report. Georgia is seismically active, so the design also has to follow seismic codes.
Structure and the permit
Class II and III buildings need a full architectural and structural project. When these parts are prepared correctly and in agreement with each other, approval also runs more smoothly.
Why one team is better
When the architect and the structural engineer work together, the drawings match and there are fewer conflicts on site. At Asymmetry both parts are prepared in one team, from concept to building permit.
