RE: Roof Truss Shop Drawing Review
Burt Residence
The Hideaway, Lot 117
La Quinta, California
Dear Anna,
Four sets of roof truss shop drawings, by JMW Truss, for the subject project were received by our office
on June 15, 2007. The drawings have been reviewed for general conformance to the design concept of
the latest structural plans (Delta 2), dated May 29, 2007, and no exception has been taken to their use.
The fabrication processes, techniques of construction, coordination of the work with that of any other
trade, dimensions, and quantities are not a part of this review. Since the shop drawings were reviewed
only for general conformance with the structural plans, unless variations from the structural plans have
been clearly indicated, we may not have listed them. Our review of these drawings does not relieve the �.
roof truss supplier and the framing contractor from complying with the structural plans. Please note that
the drawings must be reviewed by the architect and general contractor.
If you have any questions please call me at 714.547.1115, ext. 205.
Sincerely,
Patel Burica & Associates, Inc.
