About this Gig
Expanding your living space with a home addition, sunroom, or a new backyard deck, and need to clear the local building permit review process?
Building departments look closely at exterior structures and additions due to critical foundation and weather-load requirements. As a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.), I provide the engineering analysis, load calculations, and structural framing reviews needed to ensure your design satisfies the International Residential Code (IRC).
WHAT I ANALYZE & ENGINEER:
Residential Home Additions & Garage Conversions
Multi-Level, Attached, or Freestanding Decks & Porches
Foundation Pier Sizing & Retaining Wall Footings
Roof Tie-Ins, Trusses, and Rafter Load Math
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) & Shed Foundations
WHAT YOU DELIVER:
You provide the architectural floor plans, framing sketches, or site elevations. I return a code-compliant structural evaluation report, calculation sheets, and layout markups configured for fast building permit approval.

FAQ
Does your deck review include ledger board details?
• • Yes. For attached decks, I verify the ledger connection pattern, flashing requirements, and lateral-load tension tie connections required by recent IRC updates.
What calculations are included for home additions?
My review covers the continuous gravity load path, including roof rafter/truss support, wall stud framing capacities, floor joist spans, headers over windows/doors, and the concrete foundation footing metrics.
