I will design your foundation reinforcement
About this Gig
Is your foundation cracking, settling, or no longer rated for the loads you're adding? I design engineered foundation reinforcement, underpinning, and retrofit solutions that stop movement and restore structural capacity.
What I deliver:
- Foundation condition assessment based on your inspection photos, crack patterns, and settlement data
- Reinforcement design: additional footings, grade beams, helical piers, micropiles, or push piers sized to your soil bearing capacity
- Underpinning details and sequencing for foundation depth extension or load transfer
- Structural calculations per IBC, ASCE 7, and AASHTO where applicable
- CAD reinforcement drawings ready for contractor bidding and permit submittal
- Coordination with your geotechnical report data (bearing capacity, settlement, soil classification)
Ideal for homeowners dealing with differential settlement, contractors adding a second story or heavy equipment loads, and builders needing a stamped repair design for a permit office.
Send me your existing foundation plans, any geotechnical report, and photos of visible distress, and I'll scope the right reinforcement approach for your project.

FAQ
Can you design foundation reinforcement without a full geotechnical report?
Yes I can size reinforcement using conservative bearing capacity assumptions, though a geotechnical report improves accuracy and is required for stamped submittals in most jurisdictions.
Do you handle helical pier and underpinning design, or only footing reinforcement?
Both. I design helical piers, push piers, micropiles, and traditional underpinning depending on your soil conditions and load requirements.
What software and codes do you use?
Structural calculations follow IBC, ASCE 7, and AASHTO where applicable, with drawings produced in AutoCAD/Revit for direct handoff to your contractor.
