Structural Design & Detailing Technician | Reinforced Concrete | AutoCAD I am an experienced Structural Design & Detailing Technician specialising in reinforced concrete design, structural detailing and AutoCAD drafting. I can assist with structural projects from **load assessment and preliminary design through to reinforcement detailing and production of clear, construction-ready drawings**. My Structural Experience My work includes: * Reinforced concrete beam design * Reinforced concrete slab design * Cantilever slab design * Flexural and shear checks * Reinforcement selection and detailing * Anchorage and development length assessment * Structural load calculations * Reinforcement layouts and schedules * Structural steel detailing * Structural connection detailing * Foundation and supporting-element design * Interpretation and development of structural drawings * AutoCAD structural drafting and detailing I am comfortable working with **Eurocode, British Standards and SANS-based structural design approaches**, and can work with different reinforcement grades and design requirements. Design + Detailing My strength is combining **structural engineering understanding with practical CAD detailing**. I don't simply produce drawings from information supplied by others. Where required, I can work through the structural problem, establish the design requirements, perform the necessary checks and then translate the result into a practical reinforcement/detailing solution. I pay particular attention to: **Load paths • Structural behaviour • Reinforcement arrangement • Anchorage • Shear • Flexure • Constructability • Clear drawings** Technology & Efficiency I have also developed my own structural design application to assist with preliminary structural calculations and design workflows within an AutoCAD-based environment. This allows me to streamline repetitive design processes while retaining engineering judgement and independent checking. The result is **faster turnaround without treating structural design as a "push-button" exercise**. What I Can Help You With Whether you already have a structural design that needs detailing, or you need assistance developing the design itself, I can provide support with: **Structural Design** * RC beams * RC slabs * Cantilevers * Supporting elements * Preliminary member sizing * Load calculations * Design checks **Structural Detailing** * Reinforcement layouts * Bar arrangement * Anchorage/detailing * Sections and elevations * Reinforcement schedules * Structural steel details * Construction details **CAD** * AutoCAD drafting * Structural drawing production * Drawing revisions * Redrafting and cleanup * Converting engineering information into clear construction drawings Why Work With Me? I approach structural drafting from a **design and constructability perspective**, rather than simply producing lines in CAD. My objective is to deliver drawings and calculations that are: **Accurate • Practical • Clearly presented • Efficient • Suitable for construction documentation** I am available for both individual projects and longer-term freelance structural design/detailing work. **Current freelance rate: $58/hour.** If you have a structural drawing, calculation, reinforcement detail or design problem that needs attention, feel free to contact me and we can discuss the requirements.
