I don't have code right now. I have a precast building of 80' x 80' and height is less than 60'.
Will you please indicate the parameters involved and load combinations to be used ?

You can download this program that is very accurate and can be used with ASCE 7-98 or 7-02:

About wind it says that for construction period less than 6 weeks load may be multiplied by 0.75, for construction period of 6 weeks to 1 year load may be multiplied by 0.8, etc.
Good luck.
