Jim Iglehart
And Aspen Building Department:
Thank you for choosing Brutsaert Engineering. I am writing this letter to confirm my
involvement with this project as a structural engineer. I reviewed the proposed remodel onsite
with yourself as a representative of Iglehart Construction on Dec 12, 2017. I also reviewed
drawings by Matter Planning and Design dated 12/8/17.
The structure is a two story steel and masonry construction. The building was likely
constructed in the eighties and it is unknown if there is a basement. I did not observe any
foundation elements. The structure was in a finished condition at the time of my site observation
with some structure exposed at the proposed remodel location. The proposed floor plan includes
removal of several partition walls at the second story office suite. There will also be new
partition walls added in this space. New cold formed steel partition walls shall conform to AISI
S200 and Sections 2211.2 through 2211.7, or AISI S220, as applicable.
Based on my observations of the existing structure, the proposed changes do not interfere
with or alter the existing load path. The structural integrity of this building will not be affected
by the proposed changes. Any framing conditions uncovered during demolition that do not
conform with the reviewed drawings shall be brought to the attention of the engineer.
I have agreed to make myself available for consult when new information regarding the
structure allows for a better assessment. Any structural modifications necessary will be provided
at that time.
Sincerely,
Hein Brutsaert P.E.
