I will calculate asce 7 wind and snow loads for your post frame building permit
About this Gig
Pole barn and post frame builders, truss suppliers and owners need site-specific wind and snow loads before ordering trusses or applying for a permit. I calculate those loads under ASCE 7.
What you receive:
- Risk category, design wind speed and exposure category
- Wind pressures for the main system and for components and cladding
- Ground and roof snow loads, with drift where it applies
- Enclosure classification
- Load summary table for your engineer or truss supplier
- Assumptions and the ASCE 7 edition used
How I work:
I use the ASCE 7 edition adopted in your jurisdiction and site data for your address, and I state every assumption.
What I need from you:
- Building address, or county and state
- Width, length, eave height and roof pitch
- Door and window openings, and any open sides
- Required code edition or loads, if your office specifies them
Scope:
This is unsealed engineering support: no PE stamp and no permit approval. Stamp coordination through a licensed partner is a separate paid add-on. Seismic loads, member design, foundations and truss design are not included.
Message me your building details before ordering and I will confirm scope.

FAQ
Are the calculations stamped by a licensed PE?
No. This gig is unsealed engineering support. If your building department requires a sealed set, message me before ordering. PE stamp coordination through a licensed partner is a separate paid add-on.
What do I need to send to get started?
Building address or county and state, width, length, eave height and roof pitch, door and window openings, any open sides, and the code edition or loads your office requires, if known.
Which ASCE 7 edition do you use?
The edition adopted in your jurisdiction. If you know it, send it. If not, I will confirm it with you before starting and state it in the report.
Do you include seismic loads?
No. This gig covers wind and snow loads only. If you need seismic loads or member design, message me before ordering so I can confirm what is possible.
Will my building department accept this report?
I cannot guarantee approval, since requirements vary by jurisdiction. Many offices require a sealed set from an engineer licensed in that state. Ask your office what it requires, then message me.
