BUILDING DEPARTMENT ASKING FOR A WALL-BRACING PLAN?
Sunrise Design Services prepares code-compliant prescriptive wall-bracing plans for qualifying residential projects throughout Washington and Oregon.
If your project falls within applicable residential-code limits, prescriptive wall bracing may provide a simpler and faster path than a separately engineered lateral design.
SERVICES MAY INCLUDE:
• Review of existing or proposed building plans
• Review of permit-correction comments
• Braced-wall-line layout
• Bracing methods, locations and required panel lengths
• Connection, fastening and hold-down details, as applicable
• Supporting prescriptive calculations and code documentation
• Coordination with floor plans, elevations and structural details
• Responses to plan-review comments related to our work
AVAILABLE FOR:
• New homes
• Additions and remodels
• ADUs and DADUs
• Garages and shops
• Owner-builder projects
• Plans purchased online or prepared elsewhere

NOT ALL DESIGNS QUALIFY
Prescriptive wall-bracing plans are available only when a project falls within applicable residential-code limitations. Designs outside those limits will require review by a licensed third-party engineer.
