FAQ
Can you design structural strengthening for an existing building?
Yes. I can develop structural retrofit and strengthening solutions for existing beams, columns, slabs, walls, foundations and other structural elements based on the available project information.
What information do you need to start?
Existing architectural/structural drawings, dimensions, photographs where available, information about the existing structure, proposed modifications, project location and applicable design requirements.
Can you work from PDF drawings?
Yes. PDF drawings can be used for review and design, although CAD or other editable files can be helpful when detailed drawings are required.
Can you strengthen an existing concrete beam or column?
Yes. Depending on the existing condition and design requirements, appropriate strengthening solutions can be evaluated and designed.
Can you design steel strengthening for an existing structure?
Yes. Steel strengthening members and associated connection details can be included when appropriate for the project.
Do you provide structural calculations?
Yes. Structural calculations and design checks can be included according to the selected package and project scope.
Do you provide stamped or sealed engineering drawings?
Final stamping/sealing and professional approval depend on the project jurisdiction and applicable licensing requirements. Where required, documents must be reviewed and approved by an appropriately licensed professional.
Can you work with an existing building that has structural damage?
Potentially, depending on the available information and project scope. Please provide photographs, inspection reports and existing drawings so the condition can be evaluated before ordering.
Can you design a complete building retrofit?
Yes, for an agreed structural scope. Larger or complex projects should be discussed before ordering so the deliverables and fee can be properly defined.
Can you work with international structural design codes?
I can work with applicable design criteria when the relevant project information and code requirements are provided and when they fall within my actual competence. Local professional approval should be obtained where required.
