About
I’m a Civil Engineer and Structural CAD Drafter with several years of experience in structural design and drafting, including residential projects for U.S. and Canadian clients.
My primary experience is in residential wood-frame construction, where I prepare detailed structural and construction drawings based on architectural plans, engineering criteria, and client requirements. My work includes floor and roof framing plans, wall framing, foundations, beams, headers, posts, structural connections, tall walls, bracing, and other construction details.
I am proficient in AutoCAD and have experience working with structural analysis and design tools such as STAAD.Pro, ForteWeb, and Tekla Tedds. I also have working knowledge of U.S. and Canadian building standards, including the IRC, IBC, and WFCM.
My typical workflow involves reviewing architectural plans, developing the structural framing layout, determining appropriate structural members and load paths, coordinating connections and details, and producing clear, organized construction drawings. I am also comfortable reviewing engineer markups and making revisions to drawings based on project requirements.
I understand the importance of accuracy, constructability, clear detailing, and coordination between architectural and structural plans. For projects requiring engineering calculations, professional review, or a seal/stamp, I work within the direction and criteria provided by the responsible licensed engineer.
I’m currently looking to work directly with U.S. and Canadian engineering firms, contractors, builders, architects, and residential design companies that need reliable structural CAD drafting and production support.
If you need someone who can help turn architectural plans, sketches, or engineering concepts into accurate and professional structural drawings, I’d be happy to discuss your project.
