About this Gig
Need a specialized CLT structural engineer for mass timber design and timber calculations?
Mass timber engineering demands specialized expertise. Standard designs often lead to over-specifying, high material costs, or critical floor vibration issues. I bridge the gap between architectural vision and timber fabrication, providing precise, code-compliant structural calculations that save costs.
Services Included:
- CLT Design & Optimization: Floor slabs, shear walls, and roof panels calculated to minimize material waste.
- Mass Timber Framework: Sizing and analysis for Glulam beams, columns, and heavy timber frames.
- Structural Calculations: Load combinations (wind/seismic), FEM analysis, and floor vibration checks.
- Connection Detailing: Timber-to-timber, steel, and concrete connection layouts.
- Code Compliance: Designed according to Eurocode 5, NDS (USA), IBC, or CSA O86.
Cost Efficiency: By optimizing panel layups and structural grids, I help reduce volume waste, cutting significant material expenses.

FAQ
Can you convert an existing steel or concrete building design into CLT?
Yes! I specialize in timber conversions. I analyze your architectural footprint and recalculate the framing grid, column spacing, and CLT floor layups to match structural capacity using mass timber.
Do you optimize connection details for pre-fabrication (CNC machining)?
Absolutely. My connection details are designed with fabrication efficiency in mind, using standard hardware, self-tapping screw schedules, and cut details that align with modern CNC manufacturing tolerances.
