Wood Header Beam Calculations
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I’m finishing a 15 × 22 ft sukkah room addition and the foundation is already poured. Before my framer moves ahead, I need stamped structural calculations that confirm the correct size, species, and grade of the wood header beams spanning the planned skylight openings as well as the window and door openings.
Key points
• Scope is limited strictly to those wood headers—no other structural members.
• Assume standard residential loads; nothing unusually heavy is expected.
• I already have basic design drawings, so full permit-ready plans are unnecessary; a concise calculation package with a simple sketch or table showing spans, reactions, and bearing lengths will do.
Please provide the calculations in a clearly laid-out PDF that my framer can reference on site. A quick turnaround is appreciated so framing can stay on schedule.
