I am a Civil & Structural Engineer with over 10 years of experience delivering residential engineering solutions for homeowners, contractors, architects, developers, builders, and engineering firms throughout the United States. My expertise includes structural analysis, engineering calculations, permit-ready construction documents, foundation design, framing systems, and multidisciplinary coordination for residential projects of all sizes. I have successfully supported new home construction, additions, renovations, decks, retaining walls, basement remodels, ADUs, and structural repairs, providing practical engineering solutions that meet project goals while complying with applicable building codes and permitting requirements. From concept development through permit approval and construction, I focus on producing coordinated, accurate, and buildable documentation that minimizes field conflicts, reduces permit review comments, and supports efficient project delivery. I understand that every jurisdiction has unique code requirements and review procedures. My experience includes preparing permit packages that align with local residential building codes, engineering standards, municipality requirements, and Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) review processes across multiple U.S. jurisdictions. Whether you need structural calculations, framing plans, foundation design, permit drawings, BIM modeling, or construction documentation, I deliver responsive communication, attention to detail, and dependable turnaround from the first concept through the final permit package. Where required by project scope or local regulations, I coordinate engineering review and professional sealing with appropriately licensed Professional Engineers in the applicable jurisdiction to ensure compliance with state licensing requirements. ✔️ Why Clients Choose Me ✅ 10+ Years of Residential Engineering Experience ✅ Accurate Structural Analysis & Calculations ✅ Permit-Ready Construction Documents ✅ Practical Engineering Solutions ✅ Strong Code Compliance Knowledge ✅ Fast Turnaround ✅ Clear Communication ✅ Attention to Detail ✅ BIM & CAD Expertise ✅ Reliable Support Through Permit Approval ✔️Codes & Standards My designs are developed in accordance with applicable U.S. building codes and engineering standards, including IRC, IBC, ASCE 7, ACI 318, AISC 360, NDS, and other jurisdiction-specific requirements. I understand that every municipality has its own permitting procedures, and I prepare documentation that aligns with local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) requirements. I believe successful engineering is more than producing calculations—it is about understanding the project, coordinating with the design team, and delivering documentation that helps construction proceed smoothly. If you're looking for a dependable engineering partner for your residential project, I'd be happy to discuss your requirements and help bring your project from concept to construction.
