I will design structural foundation framing and permit drawings
About this Gig
Are you worried about structural failures, sagging roofs, or cracked foundations halting your construction project?
A beautiful floor plan is completely useless if the structural skeleton of the building cannot support the load or pass local municipal building codes.
As an experienced structural engineer, I provide professional foundation and framing plans engineered for safety, structural longevity, and fast permit approval. I bridge the gap between creative architectural design and strict engineering realities.
What I Deliver:
- Slab-on-Grade, Crawlspace, & Deep Concrete Foundation Plans
- Floor & Wall Framing Layouts (Wood, Light-Gauge Steel, or ICF)
- Roof Framing & Truss Layout Detailing
- Beam, Column, & Header Sizing (for open-concept wall removals)
Software Expertise:
I model, analyze, and draft using top-tier professional engineering suites: AutoCAD, Revit, ETABS, SAP2000, and STAAD Pro.

FAQ
What information do I need to provide for a foundation or framing plan?
I will need your architectural floor plans (with dimensions), information regarding your wall heights, the roofing material you plan to use (e.g., asphalt shingles vs. heavy clay tile), and a local soil report if your city requires specific soil-bearing capacity calculations.
Do you design for steel structures, or only traditional wood framing?
I am fully qualified to design using multiple material types, including traditional light-frame wood, engineered lumber (LVL/I-Joists), structural steel beams, light-gauge steel framing, and reinforced concrete.
Can you help me design a beam for an open-concept wall removal?
Yes. If you are removing a load-bearing wall to create an open floor plan, I can calculate the weight distribution and specify the exact size of the steel or LVL beam and columns required to safely support the roof or upper floors.
What happens if my local building department rejects the framing layout?
Municipal corrections are part of the building process. Every package includes dedicated revision cycles to address city plan-check comments. Simply send me the correction sheet, and I will update the structural drawings to comply.
