Windows are installed, and the building is closed in.
The primary purpose of this visit was to observe the roof trusses prior to starting sheetrock and
insulation. All truss holdowns have been installed. Gable end wall bracing is complete. Bracing
of individual truss members was virtually complete, with the following exceptions noted:
Some of the lateral braces for T1G, located at the sides of the elevator, cannot be installed until
the fire-code gypsum board is complete;
Some of the lateral braces for T1D could not be installed since the members requiring bracing are
in a different pattern from the adjacent trusses - these members should be braced not with
laterals, but with strongbacks, per the truss manufacturer’s details;
Screws for mating the two plies of the G1 girder trusses have not been installed - the screws are
required per the truss manufacturer, with the patterns called out in the truss design notes.
Respectfully,
Ryan Hellwig
