1. The size of the post 2. The quantity or number of posts 3. The length or height of the posts The size of the post is already indicated in the plan. The quantity is determined through direct counting based from the detailed plan of the building. The length is determined under the following considerations: a. For one story building, verify if the elevation height indicates from floor to ceiling. If the ceiling is below the girts, add the depth of the girts including the bottom chord or the rafters to the height of the post. b. For a two story building, verify if the height indicates from floor to floor, if so, then consider the additional length for the girders, floor joists and the flooring. For the second floor, add the depth of the girts, bottom chord or rafters to the height of the post. c. Remember that the commercial length of the lumber is always of even number. If the computed length is odd number adjust the order to the next even number or length.
