[GSBN] Idaho Structural Engineer

[August Hasz]

Dodson Harper, the other Principal here at REG is licensed in Idaho, and we are very familiar with straw bale construction issues. Our schedule is pretty full, but possibly we can help. Feel free to forward my contact info (see below).

Thanks,

August

Assuming both parties are comfortable with that and assuming she’s a licensed architect in Idaho. I don’t know of a jurisdiction that wouldn’t accept a structural design from a licensed architect for a single family dwelling two stories or less (still going through the normal plan check).

But Appendix S clearly allows load-bearing with specific capacities for different wall assemblies (mostly a function of plaster type) and detailing requirements. Even if Appendix S hasn’t been adopted it could still be used to justify a load-bearing design.
