Standing Up & Being Heard

Standing Up & Being Heard

  • Bryan Hill stood before the California Building Standards Commission to defeat an amendment requiring truss placement diagrams to be sealed. 
  • WTCA staff realized that the Department of State Architects did not understand the professional liability that truss design engineers face when they seal layouts. 
  • In the end, Hill was successful in getting the requirement removed from the 2006 California Building Code.
