I will provide residential structural load calculations analysis and structural design
About this Gig
Residential construction and renovation projects often require more than an architectural floor plan. Loads from floors, roofs, walls and other structural elements need to be evaluated so the structural system can be properly understood and documented.
We provide residential structural load calculations and analysis based on the architectural and project information supplied.
The service can include:
- Dead load calculations
- Live load calculations
- Roof load calculations
- Floor load calculations
- Wall & Beam loads
- Column loads
- Point load calculations
- Tributary area calculations
- Load path analysis
- Support reactions
- Preliminary foundation loads
- Structural load schedules
- Calculation reports and documentation
- Review of existing architectural plans
This service can be useful for new residential construction, renovations, additions, remodeling projects, structural modifications and projects where a contractor, architect or building department requires additional structural information.
Send your architectural plans, dimensions, structural information and any project requirements you have. We will review the available information and confirm the appropriate scope before proceeding.
