FAQ
What if my project needs more than one beam?
Message me with your drawings and requested deliverables. I can assess whether the Standard or Premium package fits or whether a custom offer is needed.
Can you work on home additions in California?
Yes, for a clearly defined scope that matches the selected package and my actual capabilities. Larger additions, multiple floors, and full-house design require a custom
Are permit-ready or stamped drawings included?
No, not automatically. Where California law requires licensed engineering or sealed documents, the work must be reviewed and authorized by a properly licensed professional. Confirm these requirements before ordering.
Will I receive PDF and DWG files?
PDF calculation summaries are included as described in each package. DWG files are available only if explicitly agreed and included in the custom offer or package scope.
Can you work from existing drawings or sketches?
Yes, if the information is sufficient for the agreed task. PDF plans, marked-up drawings, sketches, dimensions, and available CAD files can help establish the scope.
Can you help with load-bearing wall removal?
I can provide agreed beam and supporting-element calculation or drafting support based on the information supplied and my actual scope of competence. The complete load path and required supports must be addressed before the alteration proceeds.
What information should I provide before ordering?
Send the existing floor plans, dimensions, number of stories, photos if available, proposed wall or framing changes, known loads, and any existing structural drawings. Tell me the California project location and the deliverables you need.
