CA for future home builder/owner

[tompapa]

I know for a fact that you can do this in California. It is neither illegal or unethical, in direct contradiction to what some of the people on here are saying. I've done the drawings for every structure I've built over the last six years since I bought a copy of chief. It's easy to find structural and civil engineers who are happy to review and stamp your work. They will require that you meet their standards, but you want to do that anyway. Not even remotely a problem here. Most of the engineers I know don't even do their own drawings anyway. They sub it out. You can do this in the city or out in the country, doesn't matter at all.
