I have to condo a complete structural submittal with the City of San Diego no later than this Wednesday, 12 p.m. The project is straightforward but time-critical: on the ground floor of a 45- to 50-year-old two-story building with an identical unit above I’m removing a section of a load-bearing wall to create a 7 ft opening. My plan is to support the load with two 11-7/8" × 1-3/4" LVL members, one king stud and three jack studs each side. The slab is roughly 3-1/2" thick; the upstairs unit mirrors the one below. What I need from you • A permit-ready PDF plan set stamped (if you’re licensed in California) • Structural calculations that satisfy the current California and San Diego amendments. • Connection details—points of bearing, fasteners, strap or clip schedules, shear transfer, and any blocking requirements. • Footing or slab enhancement recommendations, should the existing 3-1/2" slab prove inadequate. • Any notes or schedules the city typically expects on a plan of this scope. I have no legacy drawings, preliminary calcs, or manufacturer data, so please base everything on field-verify dimensions and code tables. Delivery in a single, clearly named PDF is perfect; printed sets are not required. If you can turn this around in time and keep the language, symbols and sheet order familiar to San Diego plan reviewers, let’s get started immediately.

Hello, I have experience preparing structural permit packages for residential wall openings, including beam checks, bearing details, stud packs, connectors, and city plan-check responses. I am interested in this project because it is urgent, safety-sensitive, and needs a clear submittal that San Diego reviewers can process quickly. I will field-verify the opening, framing, slab, and mirrored upper-unit conditions, then prepare structural calculations, connection details, bearing notes, and any slab or footing upgrade recommendations. I do not personally hold a California engineering license, but I work with an actively licensed California engineer who can review, stamp, and seal the final PDF package if the field conditions support the design. I can organize the sheets, symbols, and notes in a permit-ready format and flag any issue that cannot be assumed safely. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

Hi — I’m Mohand, a talented structural engineer offering U.S. engineering services. I’m excited about your "San Diego Structural Submittal" and can deliver a complete, permit-ready structural submittal to the City of San Diego. I will prepare a single, clearly named PDF plan set with plan sheets, connection details, bearing points, fasteners, strap/clip schedules, shear transfer and blocking requirements. I will produce structural calculations that comply with current California codes and San Diego amendments and will base all work on field-verified dimensions and accepted code tables. If the existing 3-1/2" slab is insufficient, I’ll provide footing or slab enhancement recommendations and clear notes the city expects. If you’re California-licensed I can stamp the plans; if not, I will prepare them for local review and coordinate with your licensed engineer. I’m available to start immediately and can meet the Wednesday 12 p.m. deadline — shall I proceed?

Hi, there I can assist with preparing the structural drawings, drafting, and organizing a permit-ready plan set based on your field measurements. I will provide clear CAD drawings, connection details, and coordinate revisions quickly to meet your deadline. Before we proceed, I have a few questions: * Can you provide field measurements, photos, and any inspection notes of the existing framing? * Have the LVL beam size and stud configuration already been approved, or should they be verified through structural calculations? I can start immediately and deliver clean, permit-ready drawings, but please note that **I cannot provide or apply a California engineering stamp or certify structural calculations unless a California-licensed Structural or Professional Engineer is involved.** Looking forward to working with you!

I can deliver a comprehensive, permit-ready structural submittal package for your San Diego project by Wednesday's deadline, mirroring the efficiency required for time-sensitive permit applications. My experience with similar load-bearing wall modifications in multi-unit residential structures ensures a swift and accurate submittal. My approach will involve developing detailed structural drawings using AutoCAD, clearly illustrating the proposed LVL beam configuration, beam-to-stud connections, and foundation bearing details. I'll incorporate standard engineering calculations for the specified LVL members, accounting for the dead and live loads from the upper floor and roof. The submittal will include all necessary notes and details to satisfy City of San Diego building code requirements for this type of alteration. Have you encountered specific challenges with San Diego’s submittal process for older buildings, and are there any particular details the city has flagged in the past? I'm available for a quick call to discuss your project specifics and confirm the exact deliverables needed to ensure a smooth submission.

Your project requires a structural permit submittal rather than a drafting update, so the focus is on engineering verification, code compliance, and preparing documentation suitable for City of San Diego review. I can assist with developing the structural documentation package, including framing details, load-transfer considerations, connection details, and organized permit drawings based on the provided field conditions. The design can be coordinated around the proposed LVL header, stud configuration, bearing conditions, and existing slab/foundation considerations. Could you please confirm whether a California-licensed structural engineer stamp is required from the selected freelancer and whether you already have field measurements/photos of the existing wall, slab, and framing conditions available?

Hi, I can help coordinate your structural permit package for this time-sensitive wall opening and prioritize the project to meet your Wednesday deadline. I work closely with a California-licensed structural engineer who will review the existing conditions, perform the required structural calculations, verify the proposed LVL beam design, bearing, connections, shear transfer, and foundation/slab requirements, and provide the engineering review and stamp if required. I will coordinate the CAD drawings, structural details, documentation, and revisions to deliver a clear, permit-ready package. I understand the importance of producing documentation that aligns with California Building Code requirements and typical City of San Diego plan review expectations. Could you please share any site photos, field measurements, and indicate whether the wall supports roof loads only or both the second floor and roof?
