[Cob] Permitting

[Dulane]

We did another kind of alternative building...and we paid a structural 
engineer to do a report. We had an easy source of numbers for the engineer 
to get his info from...but his report did get us the permits...and he cost 
us around $2500.

I guess you have to ask other people who have alternative buildings and see 
if you can find someone you feel good about working with.

Good luck.

Hello,

I had an interesting discussion with a person I've known for a few years but 
only just realized they were an Engineer. My county building inspectors said 
that it would not be a problem for me to build a structure such as 
straw-bale/cob as long as I had an Engineer's seal. However, my friend is 
telling me that it can cost upwards of $10,000. Does anyone have any 
experiance with this our any helpful information?

Thanks,
