Residential Design

Categories

We did structural design for a massive 33,000 sq ft custom high end residence in California. Prominent design challenges included high retaining walls, very large cantilevered sections requiring support of heavy beams.

Our Expertise

 

We do structural design and drafting for wooden structures, namely light and heavy frame structures. For single and multifamily homes, our team designs excellent framing plans for floor, roof and wall framing plans.

Whether the roof assembly consist of trusses or rafters, our team does extremely accurate designs for both. Since roof framing requires special attention in high windzones

We also do analysis and design for load bearing beams using ASD technique keeping all the necessary parameters in check to maximise

Our design expertise in wood include wooden staircases, patios, pergolas design, footing for load bearing columns and retaining walls.


Codes References

 

For all US based projects our team references the IBC 2018, IRC 2018 building codes, ASCE 7-16, ACI-08, FEMA - 451, AISC 14th Ed

For existing structure upgrades we use International Existing Building Code (IEBC), 2015 Edition and the National Fire Protection Association 2012 101 Code for fire protection.

We further select the specific as per the building classification code, from the Groups A, B, E, F, I, M, R and S. We also keep in the design purpose and the current occupancy in mind.

We also keep the ADA Act code in reference for people with disabilities, when we design different category structures depending on the use.
