I will prepare load bearing structural calculations for sip panels
About this Gig
Are you constructing or manufacturing with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)?
Ensuring structural integrity, code compliance, and load-bearing safety is critical for your building project.
I am a professional structural engineer specializing in SIP panel engineering, load calculation reports, and panel connection design for residential and commercial structures.
What I Offer: Load-Bearing Calculations: Dead, live, snow, wind, and seismic load analysis. SIP Wall & Roof Capacity Analysis: Buckling, axial load, and transverse bending strength. Header & Lintel Beam Sizing: Engineered timber, steel, or glulam beams over openings. Connection & Fastener Detailing: Screw, spline, and plate attachment checks. Foundation Reaction Loads: Point loads and distributed wall load values. Comprehensive Engineering Report: Clear PDF output ready for plan checkers or builders.
Supported Systems: OSB, EPS, XPS, PUR, and Plywood-faced SIPs.
What I Need to Start:
- Architectural floor plans and elevations with dimensions.
- Site location (for local wind/snow load codes).
- SIP panel specifications (thickness, skin type, core type).

FAQ
Which building codes do you support for calculations?
I perform calculations based on US (IBC/IRC/NDS), UK/Eurocodes (BS EN), Australian (AS/NZS), and Canadian (OBC/NBC) structural engineering standards. Please specify your location when ordering.
Will this report include stamped engineering PE seals?
This gig includes comprehensive structural calculation reports and analysis. If you require a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) or Chartered Engineer stamp for a specific state or jurisdiction, please message me first to confirm availability.
Can you calculate point loads from steel or timber beams onto SIP walls?
Yes! Point load transfer is crucial in SIP design. I calculate required timber post inserts, top plate crushing capacity, and reinforced spline connections to safely transfer heavy point loads down to the foundation
What if my local plan reviewer asks for revisions?
I provide full post-delivery support for engineering clarification or adjustments requested by your local building authority regarding the calculation parameters provided.
