Ever wonder what is involved in designing a home. Attached is a worksheet showing the structural calculations for determining the ground snow load, roof snow load and drift snow load. There is much more to designing a home or other buildings. This is why you pay for an experienced architect, engineer, and/or other design professionals to draw and engineer plans for you. This worksheet may seem complicated to some, educational to others and a day at the office for experienced design professionals.

This is educational only, not for commercial use. Please do not use it to design you own house, cut and paste into your "own" program or impress the local building inspectors on your tablet. Well impressing the building inspectors is OK since it is for educational use.
