IMPORTANT NOTICE
WE DO NOT OFFER ENGINEERING ON ANGLE IRON
What Are Engineered Prints?
Engineered prints are professionally prepared documents that provide structural details, calculations, and engineering information for a specific project. These prints may be required by local building departments, permitting offices, inspectors, contractors, or property owners.
At Blackwater Truss Systems, we will engineer any structure or truss that we sell on a site-specific basis when this service is purchased.
All trusses sold by Blackwater Truss Systems are engineered for Florida. However, if your project requires site-specific engineering, stamped drawings, or additional engineering documentation for your local jurisdiction, you will want to purchase this service.
PLEASE NOTE: BLACKWATER TRUSS SYSTEMS DOES NOT OFFER ENGINEERING ON ANGLE IRON PRODUCTS.
When Should You Order Site-Specific Engineering?
You may need engineered prints if your building department, contractor, inspector, or permitting office requires project-specific documentation. Site-specific engineering may also be beneficial for projects with unique conditions or additional structural requirements.
Requirements can vary depending on the county, municipality, project type, and job site conditions. Customers should verify local requirements before ordering engineered prints.
Advantages of Ordering Engineering
Ordering site-specific engineering can help:
- Satisfy permitting or building department requirements
- Provide documentation specific to your project and location
- Give contractors, inspectors, and property owners clearer structural information
- Support projects with unique site conditions or special requirements
- Reduce confusion during permit review or inspection
- Provide added confidence that your structure or truss package has been reviewed for the specific job
Risks of Not Ordering Engineering
Choosing not to purchase site-specific engineering may create additional risks or responsibilities for the customer, including:
- The customer assumes liability for structures purchased without site-specific engineering
- Some building departments may not approve permits without engineered documentation
- Project delays may occur if engineering is later required during permitting or inspection
- Non-engineered structures may not account for specific site conditions, wind loads, or local requirements
- Contractors or inspectors may request additional documentation before installation can proceed
- Changes or corrections after fabrication may result in additional costs or delays
- The customer is responsible for confirming the structure meets all local code and permitting requirements if site-specific engineering is not purchased
ENGINEERING SERVICES ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR ANGLE IRON STRUCTURES OR PRODUCTS.
Cost of Engineering Services
The cost of engineered prints is dynamic and is estimated and sold on a case-by-case basis. Pricing depends on the structure, truss package, project location, documentation needed, and scope of engineering required.
Engineering may also change the final price of the trusses or structure depending on what the engineer determines is required for the project. Additional materials, design changes, or structural requirements identified during the engineering process may affect the final cost.
Because every project is different, Blackwater Truss Systems will review the request and provide an estimate for engineering services before the service is sold.
Site-Specific Engineering for Structures and Trusses We Sell
Blackwater Truss Systems will engineer any structure or truss that we sell when site-specific engineering is requested and purchased. This service is intended for customers who need engineering documentation prepared for their specific project location, permit requirements, or job conditions.
BLACKWATER TRUSS SYSTEMS DOES NOT PROVIDE ENGINEERING FOR ANGLE IRON.
If you are unsure whether you need engineered prints, check with your local building department, contractor, or permitting office before placing your order.
