I’m preparing a permit package for a 21-foot masonry fireplace that will stand in a residential home here in Maryland. The fireplace footprint is 6' wide by 2' deep and it will taper to 4' wide once it rises above the 10' mark. Because the county requires a Maryland-licensed engineer’s seal, I need a full structural plan set—foundation through chimney—ready for direct submission to the permitting office. You will be starting from scratch; I don’t have any existing sketches or drafts. The scope therefore includes both the structural layout and the underlying design drawings. Key points to cover • Reinforced concrete footing sized for local soil loads, with complete rebar schedule and section cuts. • Masonry wall schedules and any lintel or bond-beam details necessary for the tapered transition. • Full chimney details integrated into the stack, including flue liner notes and height compliance with Maryland residential code. • Applicable load calculations, material call-outs, notes, and all sheets stamped and signed by a Maryland-licensed structural engineer (digital seal is acceptable if the county accepts it). • Sheet list: cover with code references, plan/elevation views, footing & wall sections, rebar schedules, chimney detail, general notes. Acceptance criteria 1. Drawings are delivered in PDF ready for permit plus original CAD (DWG or Revit) files. 2. The county intake desk confirms the engineer’s license and seal are valid. 3. Any comments returned by the permitting office that relate to structural adequacy are addressed at no extra cost. Timeline is flexible but I’d like to submit within three weeks if possible. Let me know your experience with Maryland residential codes and your availability to issue the stamp.

Could you please confirm which Maryland county the fireplace will be permitted in so the structural design can be prepared according to the exact local requirements, soil conditions, and permit review standards? I can help develop a complete permit-ready structural package for your 21-foot masonry fireplace, including the foundation design, reinforced concrete footing details, rebar schedules, masonry wall sections, tapered transition details, chimney integration, flue liner requirements, load calculations, material specifications, and code-compliant construction notes. The drawings will be developed from the ground up with careful attention to structural stability, residential code requirements, constructability, and permit review expectations, then organized into a professional sheet set with plan views, elevations, sections, schedules, and details suitable for submission. I understand the importance of having properly sealed engineering documents and will ensure the final PDF and native CAD files are prepared for smooth review and future reference. Can you provide the available site information, including foundation conditions, soil bearing capacity (if known), and the intended fireplace location within the home so the design assumptions can be properly established?

Hi, I've reviewed your project and understand you're looking for a complete permit-ready structural package for a 21-foot masonry fireplace, including foundation design, reinforced masonry details, chimney integration, structural calculations, and documentation suitable for county review. This project will require careful coordination between the footing design, tapered masonry transition, chimney configuration, and applicable residential code requirements to ensure the final package is both buildable and permit compliant. I have worked on similar residential structural and construction documentation projects and can share relevant examples once we connect in chat. Also a quick question, has the exact location of the fireplace within the home been finalized so the foundation design can account for the existing structural system beneath it? Best Regards, Muskan

Hello, I have experience preparing structural drawing packages for masonry fireplaces, reinforced footings, chimney stacks, rebar detailing, and residential permit submissions. This project interests me because a 21-foot tapered masonry fireplace needs a complete load path, foundation design, flue coordination, and Maryland code-compliant documentation before it can be submitted. I will develop the design from scratch, including footing plans, elevations, wall sections, rebar schedules, bond beam or lintel details, chimney/flue notes, material callouts, and structural calculations. I will prepare the PDF permit set and editable CAD files, then coordinate the final signed and sealed package with a Maryland-licensed structural engineer. I can also address structural comments from the county after review. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin
