        "text": "Selecting certified engineering is recommended whenever you are building a permanent structure that must satisfy local building codes, snow loads, or wind requirements. Non-engineered buildings may offer lower upfront material costs, but municipal building departments usually reject uncertified plans during permit review. Opting for fully engineered plans ensures the steel gauge, anchoring bolts, and foundation design are certified by a licensed professional to withstand local environmental stresses safely.",
