I will design push pier underpinning plans
About this Gig
Cracked walls, sticking doors, sloping floors, a foundation that keeps sinking these are signs of settlement that get worse without an engineered fix. I design permit ready push pier underpinning plans that stop settlement and stabilize your structure for good.
What you get:
- Pier layout/spacing based on structural loads and soil data
- Bearing/axial capacity calcs per IBC, ASCE 7, and ICC-ES AC358 (FSI, ECP, Magnum, PierTech systems)
- Retrofit bracket detailing and hydraulic jacking/lift sequence
- PE-stamped calculations and permit-ready drawings
- Special inspection notes for AHJ submittal
Who this is for:
- Foundation repair contractors needing stamped plans to pull permits
- Homeowners with settlement, differential movement, or voids beneath footings
- Builders comparing push piers vs. helical piers for a distressed foundation
My process: send your foundation plan, photos of distress, and geotechnical report (if available) I return spacing calks, bracket details, and a stamped, buildable plan ready for permit submittal. No generic templates every plan is engineered to your soil and loads.

FAQ
Are you a licensed engineer, and will you stamp my plans?
Yes I'm a licensed structural/geotechnical engineer. Premium tier includes a PE stamp; tell me your project's state during ordering since stamping requires licensure in that jurisdiction.
Push piers or helical piers which do I need?
Depends on soil conditions and structural load. Push piers use the structure's own weight to drive to bearing stratum and suit heavier loads; helical piers screw in mechanically and work well on lighter structures or where reaction load is limited. Send your load and soil info and I'll confirm the r
Do I need a geotechnical report before ordering?
Not required, but it speeds up the design and improves accuracy. Without one, I'll size piers conservatively using regional soil assumptions and flag where a geotech investigation is recommended.
How many piers will my foundation need?
Depends on the load path, footing width, and settlement severity I calculate this from your foundation plan and structural loads rather than a flat rule of thumb.
Can you work from photos alone, with no drawings?
I can produce a preliminary layout, but a stamped, permit-ready plan requires an existing foundation plan or field measurements.
