FAQ
Which design codes do you use for LGS and CFS projects?
I provide full structural compliance with AISI S100 (North American Specification), AISI S240, IBC 2024, and Eurocode 3 (EN 1993-1-3). Whether your project is in the US, UK, or Australia (AS/NZS 4600), I ensure all cold formed steel calculations meet local building department requirements.
Can you provide signed and sealed calculation packets for permits?
I deliver comprehensive, professional LGS structural analysis reports ready for PE review. While I provide the core engineering and backup calculations, please message me directly if you require a specific state level digital seal, as requirements vary by jurisdiction.
What software do you use for LGS framing and CFS analysis?
For high precision results, I utilize industry standard software including SAP2000, RISA 3D, and AISIWIN for structural member sizing. For detailing and BIM coordination, I use Vertex BD, MWF, and AutoCAD to deliver fabrication ready shop drawings.
Do you handle both load-bearing and non load bearing steel design?
Yes. I specialize in all Light Gauge Steel systems, including multi story load bearing wall frames, floor joists, and roof trusses, as well as commercial curtain wall bypass systems, interior partitions, and specialized parapet framing.
What files will I receive upon project completion?
Depending on your package, you will receive a professional PDF structural calculation report for permit submission and detailed LGS shop drawings in PDF and DWG formats. I also provide Revit (RVT) files for projects requiring full BIM integration.
