Agape Construction constructed and new Shear Wall, including a new reinforced foundation, for an ‘Earthquake Brace and Bolt’ project in San Bruno, CA.
An Engineer prepared the plans to add plywood to the existing walls, and to add a new shear wall. We processed the Building Permit. The project involved removing an existing, non-structural wall, adding a new reinforced concrete foundation and Anchor Bolts, building a new wall using Framing Clips and SDS screws to attach to the foor above, and nailing plywood and gypsum board. We coordinated all of the required Inspections by the City Department of Building and Safety to complete the project.
