This dossier fills that gap with the strategy I used in practice:
- Complete regulatory pathway: The 7 necessary procedures (building permit, land use, environmental, fire department, etc.) in the correct order and actual timelines for each.
- Adapted NSR-10 Blueprint: Structural calculations for the Kruschke V3 dome presented in the format the reviewer expects — seismic resistance, wind loads, triangulated stress distribution.
- Technical-legal argument: How to frame the dome under Title E of NSR-10 (special structures) and the regulatory sidestep for light structures.
- Filing-ready templates: Calculation reports, location plans, area schedule, and the application letter with the legal argument.
This is not a structural engineering course. It is the complete dossier, annotated with the lessons from each rejection and each partial approval.
- 35-page PDF guide: step-by-step regulatory pathway with actual timelines, costs, and contacts by municipality type
- Structural calculation plans for the Kruschke V3 dome (A1 format): load distribution, piece-by-piece sizing, connections and anchors
- NSR-10 calculation reports in editable Word format: seismic resistance (zones 3 and 4), wind load, live/dead load
- 5 submission templates in Word: permit application, area schedule, descriptive report, certificate of tradition, neighborhood letter
- Technical-legal argument template: how to present the geodesic geometry under Title E of NSR-10
- Filing checklist: 23 required documents with status (mandatory/optional according to municipality)
- Bonus: adaptation for tiny houses on wheels (classification as "temporary structure" vs. "building")
- Identify your municipality and category: The guide includes a table of requirements by municipal category (1–6). Your category determines which procedures apply.
- Gather the base documents: Certificate of tradition and freedom (no older than 30 days), property tax clearance, copy of ID. The guide lists the 23 documents with their templates.
- Adapt the calculation reports: Open the Word file of reports, replace the project data (address, area, seismic zone) and adjust the loads according to your specific design.
- Print the plans at A1 scale: The plans are in vector PDF. Take them to a plotter or print in A3 for preliminary review.
- Filing: Submit the complete dossier to your municipality’s planning authority. The guide includes the filing order and how to respond if they flag the project.
- Follow-up: Use the follow-up checklist with actual timelines for each stage. If there are observations, the guide has a chapter of "responses to common observations".
