CONSTRUCTION PLANS

Disclaimer
These plans provides conceptual information.  Periodic changes in the National Design
Specifications for Wood Construction, changes in building materials, snow load variations and
the serious impact of deviations from these plans make it imperative that professional services
be utilized to tailor theses plans to your situation. Suggested services include but are not limited
to structural design; assurance of compliance with codes and regulations; supervision of site
selection and construction; and provision for utilities, waste management, and access. North
Dakoat State University, the MidWest Plan Service, the United States Department of
Agriculture, and none of the cooperating Land-Grant Universities warranty these plans.
