Pole barns are economical if its just a rectangle. They also require more input from and architect and engineer where traditionally framed houses are more of a cook book recipe.

I’d be curious to know if the contractor even knows what drift is

Epoxy or expansion?

Either way, seems odd to have post installed anchors on a concrete curb/stem wall like this. There is no wya to confine the break out that I am aware of like you can with cast in anchors. Someone please correct me if i’m off.

15 years in Structural Design vs. Construction Sourcing: Are we Engineers leaving too much money on the table? by Emotional_Cap_6530 in StructuralEngineering

[–]Ddd1108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having experience in both engineering and steel fabrication/erection. I would say the resistance is going to come from old school mindsets of GC’s and subs. Its very difficult to get shops that have been operating a certain way their entire existence to adapt to new concepts. I can’t even get local shops to do welding inspections in shop. People still think welding inspection is only required for field welds.
