About this gig
Trying to renovate an older, compartmentalized home into a bright, modern open-concept space in Michigan? Submitting interior remodeling plans that lack clear framing layouts will lead to instant building department rejections. Local Michigan code reviewers and building inspectors require absolute clarity on how floor or ceiling weights are bypassed when interior partitions are eliminated.
I provide professional 2D CAD drafting specializing in residential Open Concept Layouts and Structural Header Design tailored to clear Michigan Residential Code (MRC) guidelines. I transform your design concepts into clear, actionable structural blueprints that map how vertical gravity forces are safely captured by engineered lumber headers (LVL) and transferred down to your home's foundation.
Let's open up your living space legally and safely. Message me with your span lengths, joist direction, and interior photos before clicking order!

FAQ
What is a structural header design and why do I need one for an open concept layout?
When you eliminate an interior wall that supports weight from above, a horizontal support element—a structural header—must take its place. My plans detail the exact size, placement, and framing connections of engineered wood headers (like LVLs) to ensure your ceiling never sags after the wall is gon
What is a structural header design and why do I need one for an open concept layout?
Yes, absolutely. I can draft a flush-mount structural header configuration where the engineered lumber beam sits entirely up inside the joist space, using face-mount hangers to tie the joists into the side of the beam. This eliminates the dropped-beam look and leaves your ceiling completely flat.
Do your plans show the point-load paths down to the basement or crawlspace?
Yes. My Standard and Premium packages trace vertical gravity vectors. When a wall is replaced by a beam, the weight is concentrated on the ends. My layouts detail the solid wood trimmers or columns carrying that weight downward, including specifications for extra support blocks in the crawlspace
