About this Gig

Turning an attic into living space? Get joist capacity, support beams, stair-opening effects and reactions checked before adding floors, finishes or concentrated loads.


I provide focused attic floor and load-path calculations using client-supplied measurements, framing information and photos.


My service can include:

  • Existing joist size, spacing and span review
  • Proposed dead and live load calculations
  • Bending, shear and deflection checks
  • Joist capacity and upgrade triggers
  • Support-beam sizing
  • Stair-opening header and trimmer demands
  • Partition or concentrated-load review
  • Beam reactions and bearing demands
  • Calculation summary with assumptions


This service is suitable for attic bedrooms, offices, playrooms and conversions from storage to regular living use.


Send the attic layout, proposed use, joist size, spacing, span, species and grade if known, beam and bearing locations, stair opening, floor buildup, project city/state and clear photos with a tape measure for scale.
