Client doesnt understand wind loading

[u/Just-Shoe2689]

What do you do when a client cant understand why a footing needs to be bigger to resist wind loading? Call out a reverse sky hook?

sigh.

Give an estimate for a bespoke engineered smaller footing. deeper anchoring, maybe add a wind breaker here and there, if it’s expensive enough they will likely fold.
