I need a licensed structural engineer who can give equal attention to two intertwined tasks on my home: confirming whether an interior wall can be safely removed and designing a roof-raise that will turn the current knee-wall attic space into a full-height second floor. Because I do not have existing drawings, the engagement will start with an on-site inspection, accurate field measurements, and load tracing for both the wall and the roof system. The end goal is a stamped set of calculations and drawings suitable for local permit submission in Vermont, plus any practical guidance I’ll need during construction. Familiarity with residential framing, regional snow loads, and current VTbuilding codes is essential, and I expect the structural analysis to be produced in the software you normally use (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, RISA-3D, SAP2000 or similar). Payment can be negotiated as hourly or fixed once the scope is confirmed. When you reply, please include past work that shows comparable residential alterations you have engineered; I will use that to shortlist candidates for a quick phone consultation and a site visit schedule. Local presence is mandatory so you can inspect the structure, verify as-built conditions, and provide ongoing support during construction.

I understand you need a licensed structural engineer experienced in residential modifications, similar to the projects I've completed involving load-bearing wall removals and complex roof framing designs for attic conversions. My focus is always on delivering safe, code-compliant, and practical solutions. My approach will begin with a thorough on-site inspection and precise field measurements to accurately capture existing conditions. I will then perform detailed load tracing for both the interior wall and the roof structure, utilizing structural analysis software to determine appropriate support requirements. This will lead to the development of detailed calculations and construction drawings, stamped for permit submission in Vermont. To ensure we're fully aligned, could you clarify the approximate age of the home and if there's any specific style of roof framing you're aiming for with the raise? I'm confident I can provide the expertise you need. Let's schedule a brief call to discuss your project further.

Having a local presence is crucial for a project of this nature, which is why I am reaching out to offer my services in residential structural engineering. Though my profile primarily showcases my vast skill set in various domains of technology, one recipient of it is fine-tuned problem-solving - a trait essential in understanding as-built conditions and ensuring laborious construction goes smoothly. With a long-time presence in VT/NH area and comprehensive experience in all the necessary software such as AutoCAD, Revit, SAP2000, I can guarantee accurate field measurements and calculations to determine if your interior wall can be safely removed and design a roof-raise to transform the attic space. In my portfolio, I have successfully engineered residential alterations showing deep understanding of regional snow loads as per Vermont building codes
