As far as I know, Unirac does not offer customized engineering that uses ASCE 7-10 calculations, which is required to meet Florida Building Code 2010. James Madrid told me earlier this year that they did not have immediate plans to update their Code Compliant Installation Manual from ASCE 7-05. That effectively renders the manual much less useful for us from an engineering standpoint. We've also begun to look at alternatives as a result.
