Structural Engineer and Professional CAD Drafting Specialist
About this Gig
Looking for reliable, code-compliant civil and structural engineering services for your project in Missouri or Kansas? Youve found the right gig.
Structural design requires precise attention to local environmental conditions. I provide professional engineering solutions tailored strictly to the building codes governing the Midwest, ensuring your structures are safe, efficient, and ready to clear city or county permitting.
Expert Services Provided:
- Structural Framing Design: Joist, beam, rafter, and header sizing for wood, steel, or concrete.
- Foundation & Footing Plans: Concrete footings, slabs-on-grade, and basement retaining walls designed for regional soil types.
- Load Path Analysis: Detailed wind, snow, and dead/live load calculations strictly adhering to the International Building Code (IBC) and International Residential Code (IRC) updates.
- Civil Site Planning: Basic grading layouts, drainage review, and stormwater layout management.
- Permit Drawing Review: Preparing architectural sets for structural compliance before submission.
Why Choose This Gig?
- Local Code Expertise: Deep understanding of local jurisdictional amendments across Missouri (e.g., St. Louis, Kansas City.

FAQ
Do your drawings come with a licensed P.E. (Professional Engineer) stamp or seal?
No, this gig provides remote structural analysis, drafting, engineering calculations, and plan sets based on user-provided parameters. It does not include a physically wet-sealed or digitally certified state P.E. stamp. If your local city or county explicitly requires a structural stamp for permit
Which building codes do you use for your calculations?
All designs strictly adhere to the International Residential Code (IRC) and International Building Code (IBC), along with localized municipal amendments across Missouri (e.g., Kansas City, St. Louis) and Kansas (e.g., Overland Park, Wichita).
What environmental loads do you calculate for Missouri and Kansas?
I calculate precise structural limits based on regional Midwest factors, including local ground snow loads (typically 20–30 psf depending on how far north the site is), ultimate design wind speeds (ranging from 115–120 mph), and standard regional soil bearing capacities.
What do you need from me to start my project?
Please provide architectural floor plans, hand sketches with clear dimensions, exterior elevation heights, and an explanation of the materials you want to use (wood, steel, or concrete). Knowing the exact project city or county is also mandatory to check local load amendments.
Can you help me fix a framing or structural foundation issue flagged by a city code inspector?
Yes! Please share the official correction notice or report from the city building inspector along with photos or existing blueprints of the site. I can model the structural deficiency and provide a compliant repair detail or remediation layout to help you clear the code violation.
What software do you use for structural calculations and drafting?
I use industry-standard software tools, including AutoCAD for 2D technical drawings, and specialized structural analysis suites for finite element analysis, beam sizing, and foundation structural calculations.
