Thanks @bwin12 ! I really appreciate the clarification and your experience/input on this. Very helpful. FYI I have come across the term bridging documents when referring to the preliminary design and specification to meet given to the DB team to start the design. PDR is preliminary design...

Can some one help to explain the design build process a little better as this is new to me. My understanding is initially a preliminary (or conceptual design) is completed (about 30% design). Is this considered the bridging documents? Is a PDR typically included? Then a contractor will complete...

@Jbray241I did get a congrats email yesterday, but it was only after my license showed up on the DCA site last week.  It looks like they processed a lot of licenses last Friday so maybe they didn't get to them all. I assume the next batch will be on 11/6/20 since they process them every other...

Awesome it is posted! Time for another round of celebrations!

@kmarrThanks for the update. FYI my license wasn't added on the DCA site with the others from the October 9th licensing run either. Hopefully next time.

Does anyone know when the next run of licensing approvals will happen? My employer is curious when the license will be official. Cheers.

Passed Seismic!!!! 😂 This was the last missing piece, can't wait to add those two letters to my name! To everyone still studying, I learned the material best by doing tons of practice problems and practice tests.  When I did surveying I found Mansour's books and practice tests to be helpful...

I lived in England for the last few years and had to wait till I was back this year...  If you can, plan to take your test on a date that you will be back in the US. Prometric offers the test almost every day if you plan in advance.

Trying to guess the schedule of anything these days seems to be impossible... I don't mind waiting all month if I get a positive result! 

I just took the exam last week and I had a bankers box. But there was another person at prometric, that I overheard was taking one of the one the civil exams, and he just had a backpack. I didn't see what happened but I assume they let him carry his couple books in with him since he was having...

This is so strange because on Friday (April 24th) I changed my exam to May 30th over the phone with Prometric. I go the confirmation email and everything on Friday.  And I'm just now seeing the notice that all tests centers will be closed through May 31st... So far it hasn't been cancelled...

Good point, I would probably rather wait till early Q3 so I can reapply for Q4 if June becomes the only option.  I'm not going to bother setting any dates for now.. seems too up in the air. I work for a City here in California and they are estimating we will be working from home likely until...

I was scheduled to take the seismic exam on March 21st, still haven't heard anything about a reschedule. I would be surprised it they allow us to test in April though since we are supposed to peak in covid cases at the end of April here in CA.. I assume I will be taking it in June now...

@MrTeal Did you take the Hiner course? Or just use the work book? 

I passed the surveying exam on my second attempt last month. This time around I bought the mansour course. To anyone considering it, I highly recommend his books but not his videos. The videos are very slow and there isn't any editing, so he spends a lot of time waiting around and talking to his...

I came across these links which should answer your questions. Hope they help. https://www.ci.east-palo-alto.ca.us/Archive/ViewFile/Item/509 https://www.ci.independence.mo.us/userdocs/ComDev/2018 INTL BUILDING CODE.pdf...

The Hiner book has a list of definitions in appendix. I assume you are looking for something more thorough though; in which case idk. -------- On a side note I have access to ASCE 7-16 and the 2018 IBC on pdf. However it is crazy long to print these. Does anyone know what sections are relevant...
