Construction Administration in Folsom: Local Conditions That Matter
Folsom is in a moderate seismic zone with proximity to the Sierra foothills. Seismic design required. Many Folsom jurisdictions require structural observation by the engineer of record for lateral systems — the CBC treats it as a life-safety check, not paperwork. When the engineer who stamped the plans also observes the build, discrepancies get caught while they're still cheap to fix.
