I am adding a 12' × 40' lean-to porch roof to an existing structure in a 130 MPH wind zone and need a Georgia-licensed Professional Engineer to take full responsibility for the structural design and provide a signed and sealed set of drawings. Scope • Structure: wood-framed lean-to roof bearing on the existing wall’s top plate, supported at the outer edge by new piers. • Foundation: design the pier layout, size, reinforcing, and embedment to satisfy local soil and wind-uplift requirements. • Drawings: structural only—framing plan, member schedules, connection details, uplift/drag-strap specification, and pier details, all formatted for permit submission. • Calculations: wind load, gravity, and lateral analysis demonstrating compliance with current Georgia Residential Code (based on the IBC/IRC 2021 wind maps at 130 MPH). • Deliverable: one PDF set stamped and signed for the State of Georgia, plus the supporting calcs; DWG file is a bonus but not mandatory. Acceptance Your stamp must be verifiable through the Georgia PE board, and the jurisdiction should be able to contact you directly if needed. All dimensions and notes must coordinate with the existing building’s top plate elevation that I will supply. I can provide as-built photos, site measurements, and any additional information you request right away. Let me know your lead time and any questions so we can move forward.

Hello Employer, Thank you for outlining your project in such detail. I fully understand your need for a Georgia-licensed Professional Engineer to take full responsibility for the structural design and provide a stamped set of drawings for your 12' × 40' lean-to porch roof in a 130 MPH wind zone. With over a decade of experience in structural engineering and building design, I have completed numerous projects across Georgia, including wood-framed additions and porch roofs in high wind zones. I am well-versed in the Georgia Residential Code and the relevant IBC/IRC 2021 wind provisions, ensuring all designs meet local permit and safety requirements. My credentials are verifiable with the Georgia PE board, and I am always available for direct communication with the permitting authority. For your project, I will review your as-built photos and measurements, carefully coordinate all new structural elements with the existing top plate elevation, and develop a comprehensive set of structural drawings. This will include a detailed framing plan, member schedules, precise connection and uplift/drag-strap details, and robust pier foundation designs tailored to site-specific soil and wind-uplift conditions. I will also provide thorough structural calculations to demonstrate code compliance, all formatted for seamless permit submission. I am committed to clear communication throughout the process and will request any additional information needed up front to ensure accuracy. Please let me know if you have any specific preferences or requirements. I look forward to collaborating with you to deliver a safe, compliant, and efficient design for your porch roof addition.

Hello, I've read your project, and the 12' × 40' lean-to roof needs more than a typical porch detail because the 130 MPH wind zone makes uplift and connections critical. As a Georgia-licensed Professional Engineer, I can provide the structural design, calculations, and signed and sealed drawings required for permit submission. To do this project successfully, I'll design the wood framing, size the outer piers, check gravity and 130 MPH wind loads, and detail the top-plate connections, uplift paths, drag straps, reinforcement, and pier embedment. Rather than treating the porch as a simple roof addition, I'll trace the complete load path from the roof through the wall and piers into the soil so the wind-uplift forces are properly resisted. The final package will include the framing plan, member schedule, connection details, pier layout and details, structural calculations, and one signed and sealed PDF set for Georgia permitting. I'll coordinate every dimension with the existing top-plate elevation you provide and can work from your as-built photos and field measurements. Send over the site information and existing measurements, and we can get the design moving without turning a 12' × 40' porch into a 12-page headache.

Hi, A porch roof may look simple, but add a 130 MPH wind zone and suddenly every connection wants to have a serious conversation. ? The key is designing the complete load path—from the roof framing and existing top plate all the way down to the new piers. You need a Georgia-licensed PE to take responsibility for the structural design of a 12' × 40' lean-to porch, including wind uplift, gravity, lateral loads, framing, connections, and foundations. As a Licensed Professional Engineer, I provide complete structural design and sealed permit drawings for residential additions and wood-framed structures. I’m also a Member of LDE (Land Development Engineering), with experience in wind-load design, foundations, and structural permitting. I will review your existing conditions, top plate elevation, photos, and measurements; design the framing members and pier foundations; calculate wind, gravity, uplift, and lateral loads; and prepare a coordinated Georgia-signed and sealed structural package. ? Technical Deliverables ? PE-stamped structural framing plan and member schedule ? Pier size, reinforcement, embedment, and layout details ? Connection, uplift, and drag-strap details for a complete load path ? Supporting structural calculations for 130 MPH wind loading ? Signed and sealed PDF permit set for Georgia submission I’ll provide a practical, buildable design that gives the building department—and your contractor—a clear path from roof to ground.

Hi — Jennifer here. I understand you need a permit-ready structural package for a lean-to roof addition that can satisfy Georgia PE requirements and withstand a 130 MPH wind zone. The critical part is ensuring the complete load path—from roof framing and wall connection to uplift resistance and pier foundation design—is properly calculated and documented. I would approach the design by reviewing the existing structure conditions first, then developing coordinated framing, connection, wind, gravity, and foundation details that align with code requirements and permit review expectations. My skills include structural engineering, AutoCAD, engineering drawings, and construction-focused design documentation. I would be glad to review your as-built information and discuss the details needed to prepare the stamped structural package.
