Not that I'm aware of. I've done many in Big Bear; a lot of fun.

There was a lot of shaking going on there a while back, so I would pay attention to building movement issues, stress cracks, foundation problems, flashing problems and cracks around chimneys, etc.

I would see no problems associated with the high elevation specifically. There would however be some specifics associated with snow load, foundation heaving, etc. that others who work in colder parts of the U.S. might wish to shed some light on.

If it has a crawl space (sub area) make sure floors and water supply pipes are insulated. Recommend to screen off vent pipes that terminate at the roof and check drain pipes for efficient drainage, wood peckers, in mountain properties love to store their acorns in the vent pipes causing probs. Check for erosion around the structure if built on a hill.
