With residential homes becoming larger and more complex, especially along coastal New England, Rivermoor is well positioned to deal with the requirements and challenges of the new residential code (7th edition) that went into effect January 2008.
We can provide engineered drawings and specifications or based upon the architect’s plans, a “Structural Elements Package” that includes, sketches and details of the structural “elements” not specifically defined/prescribed in the Code.
