How often are y’all doing any calcs for single-family residential? 2

Had a friendly lunch with some sorta-competitors in my market who were very frank about never doing calcs for their work. Work ranges from design to repairs/retrofits, almost all wood. Are they messing with me or what? Obviously, a practitioner can output more work without pausing to do any pesky analysis.

I do calc but I dont submit them. I have the calculation files but I dont create a calculation bundle with title block and table of content. The counties don't require the calcs. They just want stamped drawings.
