Beeville 2400-sf Lodge Structural Plans
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a 2,400 sq ft residential lodge going up in Beeville, Texas, and I need a full structural package so the contractor can break ground and the city can issue the permit without back-and-forth. The building is wood-framed throughout and will carry an asphalt-shingle roof, so everything from the foundation to the ridge needs to be sized for local wind loads and the current Texas Residential Code.
What I expect from you
• A complete set of signed PDF drawings and the native CAD file (AutoCAD, Revit, or equivalent) covering slab/foundation, floor framing, wall framing, and roof framing.
• Engineering calculations that support all member sizes, connection details, and uplift/hold-down requirements.
• A brief design summary noting any code exceptions or assumptions, making it easy for the city reviewer to follow.
• One revision cycle once the plans examiner returns comments.
Key project specifics
– Use conventional dimensional lumber and engineered wood products where it makes sense; I’m open to LVL or glu-lam solutions if spans demand it.
– Asphalt-shingle roof over sheathing; no metal or shakes are planned.
– Site is non-coastal Beeville, but I still want wind design checked for 120 mph 3-second gust or whatever the governing ASCE 7-16 map shows for our county.
– Soil report indicates moderately expansive clay; assume a stiffened slab-on-grade unless you recommend an alternative.
Timeline
I’d like to submit for permit within four weeks, so please tell me how quickly you can deliver the first draft and the stamped final.
If you’re registered in Texas that’s a big plus, although I can engage a local PE for the final stamp if required. Let me know what software you prefer to model (RISA, SAP2000, STAAD, Revit) and attach one sample set of drawings so I can see your layout style.
