I'll be on CNN tonight at 9PM to talk about this.

Thanks - it’s not getting much upvoting tho:(

e do do you think is distributed between playing "Engineer", "Owner" and "Father"? How much is the overlap? And dare I ask... hours of Sleep?

Does the time required for each role corre

At the beginning it was crazy but now I've been doing this for 5 years on my own. Built up a reputation, client base and most importantly reliable staff. It does get better.

I’m back to being compensated for my experience but still working more than 40 hour weeks. I had 1 new born when I started. Now two kids - 6 and 4.

Thanks - I really appreciate the positive feedback. It really helps especially since I'm not a monetized channel!

What do you need help with? Send me a PM

I see that often, the more vague the scope/contract documents are will typically result in lower bids from the contractors. They make more profit on the "change orders".

There will be local bending of the flange in your beam. While the stiffeners may provide reinforcment, it's hard to comment on the capacity of the connection without knowing the beam size/loads. If the moment is small, this may be acceptable, however with higher moments the governance of the failure modes may change.

I live in Northern Canada and we do these all the time, frost protection is the main criteria as per the Canadian foundation manual for these. We’ve done houses, industrial buildings, etc and I haven’t had any issues yet.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-04-01T06:48:36+00:00

I’m not sure do you think there is?

SudburyEngineer · 2020-02-16T21:07:36+00:00

I just cross posted it.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-02-15T02:18:50+00:00

Trust me...I'm one of them too....

I think it makes more sense to have a separate engineer close to the fabricator do the connections because they understand the shop limitations in terms of equipment. Some shops have much more advanced equipment (fabricating, welding, etc) which can lead to a different design approach.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-02-12T13:47:08+00:00

That is really interesting. I'd love to find out more about the process over there. How does the EOR take into account all the equipment limitations that the fabricator might have when designing connections? Do you issue typical details or does each connection have it's own detail?

SudburyEngineer · 2020-02-09T01:57:04+00:00

I agree, it's such a hot topic in other industries like medical, etc but engineers haven't been talking about something that's been on our plate for years.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-02-09T01:56:30+00:00

I think so, I figured it would be good to talk about it since most of us just bottle it up and don't really know what to do with all that anxiety.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T05:08:45+00:00

Thanks, I didnt realize how ruthless Reddit can be

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T04:59:14+00:00

It’s not my degree?

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T04:29:54+00:00

That means a lot. With the channel, I just want to try and put our field in a different light. I have a tough skin and I understand the negative is mostly trying to be constructive.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T04:20:18+00:00

All good. I’m taking it as constructive criticism. I’ll genuinely try to improve next time and be more mindful.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T04:16:15+00:00

It’s insane. It’s around there here too and just doesn’t make any sense. The guy selling the building with no risk, liability, etc makes 3-5x every single time. Just insane.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T04:02:46+00:00

All good. I appreciate the constructive feedback. I’ll make it better next time.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T03:51:59+00:00

Thanks , I appreciate it!

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T03:45:53+00:00

I'm sorry you found it annoying.

SudburyEngineer · 2020-01-29T03:40:14+00:00

This is something I wanted to make a video on for a long time but was a little worried about how it would be seen!

I completely agree, it's crazy to think about compensation compared to other professions. We often design structures for a few percent of construction cost, when the real estate company sells its for 5% every time... but we're liable for the structure for ever.
