Residential buildings need accurate structural calculations to confirm that beams, posts, joists, rafters, foundations, and load paths can safely support the required loads.
I provide structural calculation support for residential projects, including additions, ADUs, garage conversions, detached garages, roof framing, floor framing, wall openings, beam replacements, and foundation support checks. The calculations can cover gravity loads, roof loads, floor loads, wind loads, seismic considerations where applicable, member sizing, bearing checks, deflection checks, and load path verification.

To prepare an accurate quote, please provide the site address, project drawings, sketches, photos, measurements, existing framing information, proposed scope of work, and any city or county permit comments. If stamped engineering, full structural drawings, or jurisdiction-specific code review is required, this can be reviewed as part of a custom offer.
