I would typically show LG MTL framing in my slab edge and other appropriate sections / details that indicate if the studs are passing by vs. Thanks, RE: Light Gauge, Cold Formed, Metal Framing, Delegated Design structSU10 (Structural) 19 Nov 15 14:40 I would like to minimize what we put on our drawings since others will design, and the more we show the more possible conflicts with the actual design This is usually for non-load bearing work such as facade backup and interior partitions.įor LG framed shearwalls we design, detail and schedule this work, Just vertical load bearing walls we have gone both ways, providing design and details, or providing loads for others to design/detail. I am wondering what is actually necessary to include in the drawings if you are performance specifying the work. On these drawing sheets we put a large boxed sheet note saying that what is shown is for general info and final design is by others. We typically indicate the LG Mtl Framing is to be performance designed by a licensed engineer in our spec and in our plan notes, requiring signed and sealed shop drawing, however we still provide some generic typical details and some more detailed info like header/jamb tables, stud size tables and product info for the framing. I am trying to streamline my documentation process and would like to ask the SE community what they do to cover Light-guage metal framing as a delegated design item.
