FAQ
Do you provide a Professional Engineer (PE) stamp?
I design to IRC/IBC codes for city permits. If your city mandates a local PE wet stamp, I provide editable CAD (.DWG) and calculation files so a local engineer can quickly review and stamp them, saving you thousands in total engineering fees.
Can you help me check if my wall is load-bearing?
Yes! Please send clear photos of the wall, the framing/attic spaces above, and basement/crawlspace below. I will analyze the structural layout to help determine if it carries a load before we start the formal framing design.
What software and file formats do you deliver?
I draft all structural framing plans using industry-standard AutoCAD to ensure clean, professional lines that city departments accept. You will receive high resolution, print-ready PDF files along with the original, fully editable .DWG source files.
