We are looking for a quality engineer in the Central Valley to help us evaluate our architectural plans of a 2 storey house we hope to build outside of San Jose. It seems that it does not fit the simple part of the Costa Rican code due to an open plan nature and our current “one man band” engineer is having trouble figuring out if its possible to build or if we should substaintally modify our design. Obviously we need to find somebody else more experienced. suggestions please.
Were your house plans drawn by a Costa Rican architect? If yes, s/he should have a consulting engineer who can review them. If not, I think you’re going to have to get an architect involved and he or she should have a structural engineer to call upon.
Thanks for the response, they were drawn by a tico architect but she lives in the US. her consulting engineer is too busy in guanacaste to review them and we want to make a few changes to them that seem to move the structure from simple into complicated. I know there is a college of afflicated engineers and architects but I don’t have much faith in them having seen some really badly engineered designs in my area – you know the type that follow what the client wants without pointing out that it won’t work for an engineer. 🙂
