Gentlemen:
Edward M. Morris, P.E., of Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore, observed the wood framing provisions detailed on
the Foundation Design prepared by Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore, Inc. on 9-18-2024. Such provisions include
low -medium strength braced wall(s), with specific nailing and no required tie -down to the concrete foundation
(IBC 2018 - Section 2304 or IRC 2018 - Section 602). My observations and measurements indicated that the
special framing elements (no special roof system modifications, braced walls and fastening, & any floor
j oist/beam system and support on the ICF foundation elements) were constructed in substantial conformance with
the foundation design by Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore.
Edward M. Morris, P.E., of Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore, observed the V floor wood framing at the above -
referenced site on 9-18-2024.Our observations and measurements indicated that the floor framing elements over
the crawl space (floor joist and beam system, and support posting to the foundation elements) were constructed
in substantial conformance with the requirements of the foundation design and are acceptable to the foundation
design engineer.
Edward M. Morris, P.E., of Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore, observed the Roof Truss wood framing (Alpine
Lumber, Job# Q240133, dated 1/31/2024) at the above- referenced site on 9-18-2024.Our observations of the
in -place wood truss elements indicates that proper wood Bracing has been attached to the appropriate truss
members and sufficient truss anchorages (`TrussScrew' type screws) have been used. The roof system was
observed to be constructed in substantial conformance with the requirements of the Roof Truss Framing Layout,
individual Roof Truss Sheets and the appropriate notes on the foundation design and are acceptable to the
foundation design engineer.
We hope this letter has provided you with the information required. If questions arise, or if further information
is needed, please feel free to contact Grand Junction Lincoln DeVore at any time.
