I will provide icf structural calculations and foundation design
About this Gig
Are you an owner-builder, general contractor, or architect struggling to secure building permits for your Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) project? Have local structural engineers over designed your project out of fear, or hit you with a brick wall because they don't understand modern ICF systems?
Don't let city plan check comments stall your project.
I specialize in residential structural engineering, foundation mechanics, and site-specific ICF design. I deliver code compliant calculation packets, rebar optimization schedules, and clear structural details engineered to pass city reviews on the first try while saving you thousands in unnecessary concrete and steel material costs.

FAQ
What do I need to provide to get started?
Please provide your architectural floor plans, exterior elevations, sectional cross-sections (if available), and any local site data you have (such as a geotechnical soil report or local wind/seismic design parameters). If you only have hand-drawn sketches with dimensions, that works too!
Do you design according to specific ICF brands?
Yes. I design and calculate reinforcement schedules that map to all major industry systems including Nudura, Fox Blocks, Logix, BuildBlock, and Amvic. I evaluate the core thickness (4", 6", 8", 10", or 12") to match your chosen block specs.
What happens if the city plan checker comes back with correction comments?
If the building department requests clarification on my calculations, simply send me the plan check comment sheet. I provide dedicated support to address, correct, or clarify structural engineering points to help push your permit over the finish line.
Can you help with ICF basement walls under high lateral soil pressure?
Absolutely. Basements and hillside properties deal with intense lateral earth pressures and unbalanced backfills. I calculate the precise overturning, sliding, and hydrostatic forces to give you a bulletproof rebar layout schedule (tension-face engineering) that keeps your walls completely straight
