Software assistance, not a professional seal

OmniCFS is structural design software. It can generate calculations, review-package artifacts, design status, assumptions, and export gates for supported cold-formed steel scope. It does not stamp, seal, approve, or take professional responsibility for a project.

Review required before reliance

• Do not use OmniCFS outputs for construction, fabrication, procurement, permitting, or field installation without the review and approval required for the project and jurisdiction.
• A licensed structural engineer / PE / SE, registered design professional, contractor, AHJ, manufacturer, or other qualified party may be required depending on the project.
• OmniCFS review-package output is not the same thing as a complete permit set, construction drawing set, AHJ approval, or released-for-construction package.

Inputs and assumptions matter

OmniCFS results depend on the information entered by the user and the assumptions selected in the product. Site-specific soil, flood, wind exposure, snow drift, seismic/site class, frost, local amendments, existing conditions, adjacent structures, utilities, field tolerances, and construction sequencing may change what is required.

Scope boundaries

OmniCFS is designed around supported cold-formed steel residential/light-frame scope. Commercial occupancies, 5+ stories, podium systems, hot-rolled primary frames, masonry/concrete/PEMB primary systems, deep foundations, retaining walls, irregular mixed systems, and other cases may be blocked, routed to review, or outside current scope.

Export gates

Blocked exports are intentional safety controls. A structurally passing engine result may still require professional review, AHJ confirmation, release records, field verification, or by-others documents before fabrication-facing outputs should be used.

Local authority controls

Building departments, statutes, local amendments, permit reviewers, inspectors, and project professionals control actual permit and construction requirements. OmniCFS can help organize the review package, but it cannot guarantee AHJ acceptance.
