Steel-Wood Home Structural Design
Budget: $50 – $80 USD
I’m moving ahead with a new residential build that combines light-gauge steel framing with key timber elements, and I need a qualified structural engineer to carry out the full analysis and design package.
The scope centres on producing code-compliant calculations and drawings for all primary and secondary members—beams, columns, floor and roof systems—so that my architect and fabricator can proceed without delays. AISC and NDS provisions must be woven seamlessly into the design, and I’d like your output formatted for easy permit submission. Familiarity with tools such as ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD, or an equivalent finite-element platform is important, and final drafting in AutoCAD or Revit will help the rest of the team plug the files straight into our workflow.
Deliverables
• Signed structural calculations (PDF)
• Fully annotated plans, sections and connection details (DWG + PDF)
• Brief design summary highlighting assumptions, load paths and governing code checks
• One revision cycle after plan-check comments, if needed
I’ll supply architectural layouts, geotech data and preferred connection sketches as soon as we kick off. Let me know your timeframe for a first pass and any questions about the mix of steel and wood so we can lock in milestones quickly.
