Concrete pier system utilizes a bracket that has an engineer's stamp, assuring code compliance. A commercial bracket that also carries an engineer's stamp certifies that it can carry the moments and the forces of a 6 x 8' laminated column. Concrete piers provide a neat, clean look on the inside, without columns being spliced and roof purlins run continuous end-to-end. Piers are on grade, which allows prefabricated walls installed on the ground. Builders can put trusses on end walls with door headers pre-installed, which saves labor.
