This package communicates design intent, spatial layout, and target specifications for a dual 40ft High-Cube container homestead with a connecting steel-roofed breezeway. It has NOT been prepared, reviewed, calculated, or stamped by a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect in the State of Arizona. All structural loads, connection details, anchoring methods, and MEP sizing shown are preliminary design targets based on stated code minimums and manufacturer literature — they are starting points for a licensed engineer's independent calculation, not final engineering.
Before ANY construction, excavation, or material procurement: (1) retain an Arizona-licensed structural PE to calculate and stamp the roof structure, container modifications, and foundation system; (2) submit to Navajo County Development Services for building permit review; (3) retain an ADEQ-approved septic/wastewater designer and obtain a permit for any onsite wastewater system; (4) verify all appliance and equipment selections meet current UL/CSA/AGA listing requirements. Container modifications that cut structural steel (window/door openings) require an engineer's evaluation of the resulting load path in every case — this is not optional and is not satisfied by anything in this document.

Breezeway clear span increased from 24'-0" to 40'-0" per owner direction, moving overall roof span from 52' to approximately 60' (56' between container outer faces + 2'-0" overhang each side). At this span, truss depth, chord sizing, and mid-span deflection under the 35 psf ground snow load become more sensitive to pitch. Pitch increased from 4:12 to 5:12 as a preliminary design recommendation: the steeper slope sheds snow more effectively, reduces flat-roof-style drift accumulation risk on the longer span, and shortens the effective rafter length for a given ridge height, which helps chord sizing. This is a design-intent adjustment, not a calculated result — final pitch, truss depth, and chord sizing must be set by the truss manufacturer's PE based on the actual 40' clear span, site snow/wind data, and any local drift or ridge-height restrictions.
