Why ASCE 7 Structural Compliance Matters

ASCE 7 — Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria compliance for structural drawings is critical because violations discovered during plan review delay permits, and issues found during construction result in costly rework, change orders, and schedule delays. Catching ASCE 7 structural issues during preconstruction costs 10x less than fixing them in the field (CII, 1-10-100 Rule).
