Being the Engineer of Record on a Metal Building Project

Webinar Sponsored by Metal Building Manufacturers Association

Presented on: July 1, 2020

Metal building systems are utilized in many low-rise applications – from shopping centers to airport hangars, from hospitals to schools, from warehouses to factories, from office buildings to medical centers. When a metal building is used, design responsibilities are usually shared between the manufacturer and the registered design professional(s), commonly the engineer of record (EOR). Therefore, a clear understanding of their respective roles, as well as coordination, and communication are crucial for success. This webinar will provide information about the metal building industry, review items related to specifying a metal building, construction inspection, and discuss why the involvement of an EOR is a key component to a project’s success.

Speakers: W. Lee Shoemaker, P.E., Ph.D. & Dustin Cole, P.E., S.E.
