I will draft structural alteration and bearing wall plans for indiana michigan
Ramo
About this gig
Modifying interior layouts in Indiana and Michigan requires precise structural calculation. Removing a load-bearing wall without a proper load-path plan can cause structural sagging or municipal code violations. I specialize in drafting professional, code-compliant structural alteration plans tailored to the Michigan Residential Code (MRC) and the Indiana Residential Code.
What I will do for your project:
- Load Path Analysis: Calculate exact tributary dead, live, and attic/roof snow loads pushing down on the target wall.
- Beam & Header Sizing: Calculate the exact sizes required for engineered lumber (LVL), glue-laminated timber (Glulam), or structural steel beams.
- Point Load Tracking: Design the support columns, king studs, and jacks, tracing the load down to ensure underlying joists or foundations can support the new weight.
- Temporary Shoring Details: Include technical layout notes on how your contractor must safely support the ceiling during construction.
How we work together:
You supply photos of the wall, floor framing directions (from the basement, crawlspace, or attic), and basic layout dimensions. I translate your data into clean, clear, permit-ready technical drawings

I focus entirely on preparing code-compliant, permit-ready construction documents tailored to the Indiana Residential Code and the Michigan Residential Code (MRC). My core expertise includes calculating tributary load paths, sizing engineered lumber (LVL) or structural steel headers, designing column point loads, and drafting clear temporary shoring plans. I collaborate closely with homeowners, general contractors, and remodelers to transform residential floor plans into precise technical blueprints that clear municipal building department reviews seamlessly.
FAQ
Do your plans come with a licensed PE stamp for Indiana or Michigan?
This gig covers structural analysis, beam calculations, and CAD plan drafting following state codes. If your local township specifically requires an official digital PE stamp/seal from a locally registered Professional Engineer to issue the permit, please message me beforehand to discuss the verific
How can I tell if my wall is load-bearing?
While a physical inspection is the only way to be 100% sure, walls that run perpendicular to your floor or ceiling joists, walls positioned directly above basement beams, or walls supporting an upper floor are almost always load-bearing.
What structural software do you use for calculations?
I utilize industry-standard design tools and reference metrics matching ASCE 7 load combinations to ensure all beam deflections and point loads conform to current building code safety margins.
