End Customer Responsibility
In a steel building construction project, the end customer has the responsibility for identifying all applicable building codes, zoning codes, and any other regulations that apply to the construction project, including the steel building system. The end customer is responsible for preparing a set of complete specifications including the design criteria, codes, standards, and regulations, and all the design loads or other requirements that will impact the design or erection of the steel building system.
The following information must be furnished by the end customer to the dealer. This information must also be supplied to the supplier by the dealer:
1. The applicable code or standard that specifies the application of design loads to the steel building system.
2. All applicable design loads including live, wind, snow, seismic, collateral, and auxilliary loads. This information must be specified in the order documents or the supplier will assume that no such loads or conditions exist.
3. All site and construction conditions that affect the design criteria such as conditions causing drifting snow and any adjacent structures.
4. The geometric requirements for the steel building system such as length, width, height, roof shape, slope, clearance requirements, both vertcal and horizontal.
5. Local zoning requirements that affect importance factors of the specified code or standard.
6. Any information necessary to determine if the steel building system can be designed to comply with the specified code or standards and is compatible with other materials used on the construction project.
