About this Gig
Your city won't approve a deck, patio cover or carport without a structural sheet. Most people find that out when the plans come back rejected.
A local firm quotes $1,500 and three weeks. Your contractor is waiting. The build slips again.
I prepare permit-ready structural plans for small residential projects - the exact drawings a plan reviewer looks for, nothing padded on top.
What you get:
- Foundation and footing plan
- Floor and roof framing plan
- Beam, header and post sizing
- Connection and bracing details
- Structural notes and design criteria
- Supporting load calculations
- PDF and DWG
Projects I cover: decks, patio covers, pergolas, carports, garage conversions, ADUs, additions, wall openings and beam replacements.
Plans reference IRC/IBC and ASCE 7 and are laid out so a reviewer can check them fast. Where a stamp is required, the set is prepared for your local engineer to review and seal.
How it works: send your sketch, photos or plans and your city, I confirm scope and price, then deliver, with revisions until the set is clean.
Message me with your project and city before ordering and I'll tell you exactly what your permit office wants.

FAQ
How fast can you deliver?
Standard sets go out in 3 days, beam sizing in 2. If you're up against a submission deadline, message me first I can usually prioritise a small scope and turn it around in 24 hours for a small rush fee.
What do you need from me to start?
Your city or county, a sketch or photo of the project, dimensions, and any existing plans or survey you have. If you only have a rough sketch on paper, that's fine most projects start there.
Do the plans come with an engineer's stamp?
Not by default. Stamping has to be done by an engineer licensed in your state. I prepare the full set to be reviewed and sealed by a local engineer, which is usually far cheaper than having one draw it from scratch.
Will my city approve these drawings?
Approval is always the building department's call, but plans are drafted to IRC/IBC and ASCE 7 references and laid out so a reviewer can check them fast. If comments come back, I revise the affected sheets.
What file formats do I get?
PDF for submission and DWG on Standard and Premium so your contractor or architect can work from the file. Other formats on request.
