Dear Client, Thank you for posting your project for the structural integrity assessment of your dormered home in Chuckey, TN. I understand you need a clear, professional evaluation of the load-bearing capacity and wind resistance, specifically regarding wall construction and ridge support requirements for your metal roof. As a Lead Architect and Licensed Structural Engineer with over 30 years of experience, holding licenses across most U.S. states, I specialize in residential structural assessments. I have extensive expertise with dormer designs and metal roof systems. My review of your basic sketches will be thorough and actionable. My approach will be to first analyze your existing sketches to understand the dormer layout and roof framing. I will then perform a detailed structural evaluation of the load-bearing walls, roof framing members, and connections. This will specifically assess the need for a specialized ridge beam or structural brackets to ensure adequate load transfer and wind uplift resistance. You will receive a comprehensive report with prioritized recommendations, including any required modifications to ensure your home is structurally sound and compliant. I am confident my expertise is an ideal match for your needs. I look forward to discussing this project further. Sincerely, Shawn

Dear client, I can review your sketches and assess the load and wind resistance. I can design the needed load-bearing walls, ridge beam, and brackets. I can also work with a PE for final review and sealing. What is the roof span and framing size? Can you share the sketches and site location? I’d be glad to discuss the project further. Best Ashley.
