About this Gig
Stalled residential remodel or a city permit hold? Get a certified structural engineering letter with an official PE stamp to keep your project moving.
Contractors and homeowners face strict building codes when changing a home's structural footprint. A single uncertified change can trigger a "Stop Work" order or freeze a real estate closing. As a licensed U.S. Professional Engineer (PE), I provide rapid-turnaround structural adequacy letters to satisfy building departments, inspectors, and lenders.
I verify your internal load capacities and external earth-retention designs to ensure compliance with the International Residential Code (IRC) and local guidelines.
What This Gig Covers:
- Wall Removal Reviews: Engineering analysis to determine if an interior wall is load-bearing.
- LVL & Steel Beam Sizing: Code-compliant load calculations and header sizing for open-concept layouts.
- Retaining Wall Certifications: Stability checks and engineering letters for earth-retention.
- Permit Hold Solutions: Rapid response letters addressing municipal correction notices.

FAQ
Do you hold a valid PE license to stamp my structural letter?
Yes. I am a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in the United States. Your structural engineering letter will feature an official professional engineering seal and digital signature, making it fully compliant for submission to municipal building departments, inspectors, and lenders.
Can you write a letter without visiting my property in person?
Yes. For residential modifications like wall removals, beam sizing, and standard retaining walls, I perform a comprehensive remote engineering assessment. You provide clear photos of the framing, attic/joist directions, and basic dimensions, and I perform the structural analysis based on your data.
Can you help me fix a "Stop Work" order or a city permit rejection?
Absolutely. This is one of my specialties. Send me a copy of the correction notice or rejection letter issued by your local building department. I will review their specific complaints and draft a target structural letter designed to resolve their objections so you can resume construction.
