Question: What building code and year are these plans designed to? Wanted to check snow load and wind speed.
Answer: Thank you for the inquiry about our plan number 99961, the plans are designed for a roof snow load of 50 p.s.f., the plans are designed to meet IRC code requirements in the US as well as NBCC requirements in Canada. The building is designed for normal wind loads, any snow or wind loads outside of what is specified in the codes mentioned would require review of the plans by a local professional engineer. Most ski hill or high snow or wind load areas usually require an engineer anyways, so this is not unusual.
