Stamped Joist Shortening Drawing for Fabrication
Budget: $15 – $25 USD
I need a structural engineer who can prepare and seal a drawing (Virginia) that shows how a series of existing steel bar joists will be shortened for a new construction project. There are no prior plans to reference, so you will be working from fresh field measurements and any photos or sketches I provide.
Scope
• Verify the joist geometry and loading assumptions from my site data.
• Detail the cut-back procedure, connection plates, welds, and any required bridging in full compliance with current AISC standards.
• Produce a clearly legible drawing set (PDF) plus the editable CAD file.
• Apply your professional stamp for the applicable jurisdiction before submittal.
Expect a short feedback loop—I’ll review once and return comments within 24 hours so we can finalize quickly.
