I will design glulam beam column connection and calculation report
Timber Structural Engineer for Framing Design Truss and Calculation Reports
About this Gig
Glulam connections are the most critical and often the most difficult part of a timber structure to get right.
I specialize in designing glulam beam and column connections that transfer load safely while accounting for wood shrinkage and moisture movement, avoiding the tension perpendicular to grain failures that cause splitting in poorly detailed connections. I provide complete calculation reports suitable for building control submission, covering everything from a simple ridge beam to complex 3D geometry with multiple connection points.
My designs consider bearing transfer, fastener selection, and steel connection plates where needed, so your structure performs safely over its full service life. I work with architects, timber frame manufacturers, and contractors across residential and commercial projects. Deliverables include a stamped calculation report and connection detail drawings ready for fabrication or building control review.
Send me your structural layout, span, and loading information and I will provide an accurate quote based on complexity within one business day.
