FREE NBEA Webinar - When Does a Lumber Estimate Become a Design? Know the Line

FREE NBEA Webinar - When Does a Lumber Estimate Become a Design? Know the Line

Tuesday, June 2, 2026 (12:00 PM - 1:00 PM) (CDT)

Description

What may seem like a straightforward material takeoff or building layout can, in some cases, cross into the practice of architecture or engineering. Understanding where that line is can help you avoid risk, support your customers, and keep projects moving smoothly.

In this FREE webinar offered by  Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects, you will:

•Understand when an estimate or layout may be considered “design” under the Nebraska State Act
•Learn when a Nebraska-licensed architect or engineer must be involved
•Gain practical examples you can apply immediately
•Have the opportunity to ask questions and get straightforward answers

The E&A Act exists to ensure that buildings are designed by qualified professionals when required—protecting life, health, property, and public welfare. Having a clear understanding of these requirements helps you better serve your customers while reducing potential liability.

Strengthen your understanding of the Act, support safe construction practices, and help prevent the unlicensed practice of architecture or engineering—whether by preparing plans without proper Nebraska licensure or by failing to engage a licensed design professional when required.

We encourage you to share this invitation with others in your area who may benefit.
If you have any questions, please contact the Nebraska Board of Engineers and Architects office at (402) 471 2021.

If you would like to submit questions in advance, please send them to nbea.marketing@nebraska.gov.
