Construction Administration in Ventura: Local Conditions That Matter
Ventura is in a seismic zone with activity from regional faults. Seismic design is required. Many Ventura 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.
