About this Gig
Stuck with city plan check delays or missing structural details for your ADU? Unapproved framing layouts and uncalculated beams can freeze your project, costing thousands in contractor delays and city resubmittal fees.
I design permit ready ADU structural plans and engineering calculations tailored to pass local building department reviews. Whether you are building a new detached ADU or converting a garage, I transform your architectural drawings into structurally sound, code compliant construction documents.
What You Get in Your Structural Package:
- Foundation Plan: Slab on grade or stem wall details with rebar sizing and spacing.
- Floor & Roof Framing Plans: Joist/rafter sizing, spacing, ridge boards, and truss callouts.
- Shear Wall & Braced Wall Layout: Lateral wind/seismic analysis with Simpson hold down schedules.
- Beam Calculations & Header Schedules: Dead/live load math, span limits (L/240, L/360), and sizing.
- Connection Details: Roof to wall hurricane ties, sill bolt placements, and post connections.
Get your framing right the first time to avoid costly field retrofits and city rejection letters.

FAQ
Will these structural plans pass city plan check?
Yes. Plans are designed according to standard International Residential Code (IRC) and regional building codes. Details include framing schedules, shear wall specifications, and load calculations required by city plan reviewers.
What files do I need to provide to start?
You need architectural floor plans, exterior elevations, and building dimensions in PDF or CAD (DWG) format. Existing structural drawings are helpful for garage conversions.
Do you include beam calculations for load-bearing wall removal?
Yes. I calculate dead and live loads, deflection limits (L/240 or L/360), and specify beam sizing (LVL, glulam, or steel) along with support post specs.
What if the city building department issues redlines or corrections?
Standard and Premium packages include revision support to adjust structural details or calculation callouts based on city plan check comments.
Can you provide PE stamped structural plans?
Structural drafting and engineering calculations are included. If your specific city requires a local state-licensed PE structural stamp, please contact me prior to ordering to check state coverage options.
What formatting will I receive for submittal?
You will receive permit-ready, high-resolution PDF drawing sheets (standard 24x36 or 18x24 format) along with a separate structural calculation packet ready for printing or direct online portal submittal.
