I will provide structural calculations and framing plans for second story addition
About this Gig
Hi there,
A second-story addition puts new load through walls and a foundation that were never designed to carry it, and that's exactly where most of these permits get stuck.
I check the load path from the new floor all the way down before drawing a single line, so the framing plan matches what the existing structure can actually support..
Scope fo work would include:
- Second story framing plans
- Structural calculations for added floor load
- Load-bearing wall analysis
- Existing foundation load review
- Seismic & wind load calculations
- Foundation reinforcement details
- Permit-ready structural drawings
- Elevation & cross-section details
- Plan check correction support
- Coordination with architectural drawings
Older homes are usually the trickiest part of this, foundations from the 60s and 70s weren't built with a second floor in mind.

FAQ
What if my existing foundation isn't strong enough to support a second story?
That's common with older homes, and it doesn't mean the addition is off the table. I'll flag the specific reinforcement needed (footing upgrades, additional shear walls, etc.) as part of the structural review, so you know
Do I need an architect first, or can you handle the whole plan set?
I focus on the structural side, framing, load calculations, foundation review. If you already have architectural drawings, I'll build the structural package to match them. If you don't, let me know..
