I know that some people get a false sense of security when they have a new barn, all built to modern building codes and designed by engineers. Fact is, they are often the first to come down. Using engineers and CAD programs allows buildings to built to the bare minimum to meet codes and keep prices down.
Without "engineers", some builders used to guess - and overbuild - which is a good thing. Erring in the "side of caution." I have a barn built in 1850 and it's still standing - and I've never gone up to shovel it. It also has NO insurance, so when it goes, it's gone.
