Hi, Your project aligns well with my experience in residential structural design and construction planning. I can review your existing plans and provide practical structural recommendations to accommodate a future roof deck while evaluating the feasibility of removing the garage pillar. My review will include assessing the current framing and steel layout, identifying additional beams, columns, or connections that may be required, evaluating load paths, and recommending modifications that your architect can incorporate before final plan approval. The objective is to ensure the structure is prepared for the future roof deck while maintaining structural integrity and minimizing costly redesigns later. I can also coordinate with your architect by providing clear markups, sketches, and engineering recommendations that simplify the permitting process. My experience includes residential structural modifications, steel framing, beam sizing, and foundation load considerations in accordance with current building codes. I am available to begin immediately and can provide a thorough review with recommendations within a few days after receiving your drawings. I look forward to discussing your project. Regards,
