I'm seeking a skilled structural engineer with CA license, to assess the feasibility of maximizing window and door openings for a 1000 sq ft Western Red Cedar cabin remodel. The goal is to determine new maximum possible openings that can be made without requiring additional structural supports. We will provide detailed As-Builts in PDF and CAD formats, along with specific measurements and the original structural, building, and foundation plans.

Key Requirements:
- Conduct structural engineering calculations to evaluate potential openings.
- Focus on standard-sized steel windows and doors, list of manufacturers will be provided.
- Assess feasibility for adding openings in the kitchen, 2 bedrooms; replacing 2 windows/2 bedrooms with French doors.
- Ensure compliance with safety and structural integrity standards.

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Expertise in structural engineering, particularly with tongue and grove log structures.
- Experience in remodeling projects involving window and door expansions.
- Proficiency in interpreting and working with CAD and PDF plans.

Your expertise will help transform the cabin into a more open and inviting space while maintaining its structural integrity. I'm looking forward to collaborating with a professional who can bring this vision to life.
