I require a U.S.–licensed Professional Engineer to review a proposed unvented shed roof framed with 2x12 SPF No. 2 (or better) rafters spaced 16 in. o.c. The assembly will carry metal roofing over 5/8-in. OSB and about 7 in. of closed-cell spray foam applied to the underside of the sheathing. Your task is to verify that this framing meets the International Residential Code and the applicable design loads for an urban site, namely snow, wind, and seismic forces. After confirming adequacy, I need a signed and sealed calculation package—or, if simpler, a certification letter—acceptable to the local building department. Deliverables • PDF of stamped structural calculations (or stamped certification letter) referencing IRC provisions and load assumptions • Electronic signature and seal valid in the United States Acceptance will be based on clarity of assumptions, traceable load paths, and conformance with IRC load combinations for the stated conditions.

As a U.S.-licensed Professional Engineer experienced in residential structural design and IRC compliance, I will evaluate the 2x12 SPF No. 2 rafters at 16" o.c. for the actual project conditions—not simply rely on prescriptive span tables. My review will address: • Dead load from metal roofing, 5/8" OSB, spray foam, and framing • Site-specific snow and wind loading • Applicable seismic requirements • Rafter bending, shear, deflection, and bearing • Connections and continuous load path • Applicable IRC provisions and load combinations If the existing design is adequate, I can provide a concise PE-signed/sealed certification letter or a complete calculation package, depending on what your building department requires. If modifications are necessary, I’ll clearly identify the required changes rather than leave you with an open-ended review. Please send the project address/jurisdiction, rafter span, roof pitch, and any available plans or sketches. I can review the information promptly and confirm the best path for approval. Best, John

----------------------- ✅ Ready to jump in and get this done the right way—clean, fast, and reliable. ✅ ----------------------- I understand you need a U.S.-licensed Professional Engineer to verify the proposed unvented shed roof using 2x12 SPF No. 2 (or better) rafters at 16" o.c., including the applicable snow, wind, and seismic loads, and provide a signed and sealed certification or calculation package. As a licensed architect and civil/structural engineer, I have experience with residential structural design, roof framing, load calculations, and code-compliant engineering documentation. I can review the proposed assembly, establish the governing design loads, verify the rafters and load path, and clearly document the assumptions and IRC provisions used. The final package will be organized clearly for building-department review, with calculations or a certification letter, as appropriate, and the required professional signature and seal where legally applicable. I can review the roof dimensions, site information, and existing drawings immediately and confirm the best approach before proceeding.

Hello, I can review and verify your proposed unvented shed roof framing using 2x12 SPF No. 2 or better rafters at 16" o.c. I will evaluate the framing for the applicable urban-site snow, wind, and seismic design loads, including the roof assembly, 5/8" OSB sheathing, metal roofing, and approximately 7" of closed-cell spray foam. My scope will include checking member capacity, deflection, connections, load paths, and applicable IRC provisions and load combinations. Upon confirming adequacy, I can provide a clear PDF calculation package or certification letter, with professional signature and seal where I am licensed for the project jurisdiction. I’m ready to review the project details and proceed with the structural verification. Thank you.

Hello, I am a licensed Professional Engineer experienced in residential structural design and code compliance, and I can review your proposed unvented shed roof assembly and provide the required engineering documentation. I will verify the 2x12 SPF No. 2 rafters at 16" o.c. for bending, shear, deflection, and overall load capacity under the applicable snow, wind, and seismic conditions. I will also review the roof assembly, load path, and relevant IRC requirements to ensure the design is properly supported and code compliant. Following the analysis, I can prepare a professional PDF calculation package or certification letter with an electronic signature and seal, subject to the project jurisdiction and applicable licensing requirements. I look forward to working with you.

Hi how are you doing well? I have strong experience in residential structural analysis, roof framing verification, timber design, and permit-ready engineering documentation. I can review your unvented shed roof system, including the 2x12 SPF No. 2 rafters at 16 in. o.c., 5/8-in. OSB sheathing, metal roofing, and closed-cell spray foam, and verify its adequacy under applicable IRC requirements. As a team leader, I coordinate experienced structural engineers and code specialists with solid backgrounds in wood framing, snow, wind, seismic, and load-path analysis. Even when projects involve difficult code or loading conditions, we can provide clear, defensible calculations and complete the work on schedule. My process will include confirming the rafter span, roof slope, tributary loads, dead and live loads, local snow load, wind speed/exposure, seismic design criteria, bearing conditions, connections, deflection, uplift, and member capacity. I will then prepare traceable calculations referencing the applicable IRC provisions and load combinations, followed by a concise certification letter or calculation package. Final sealing will be completed by a PE licensed in the project state. I can begin immediately and typically complete the engineering review within 2–4 business days after receiving all required information. I am committed to accurate work, clear communication, and becoming your long-term engineering partner.

Hello, I am a licensed Structural PE with over 20 years of experience in residential wood-framing design, roof evaluations, engineered calculations, and permit certification. I can review your proposed unvented shed roof framed with 2×12 SPF No. 2 rafters at 16" o.c. and verify compliance with the applicable IRC requirements and site-specific design loads. My review will include: • Dead, snow, wind, and seismic loads • Rafter bending, shear, bearing, and deflection • 5/8" OSB roof sheathing and metal roofing • Added dead load from closed-cell spray foam • Connections, uplift, and load-path verification • Applicable IRC load combinations • Structural calculations and code references • Signed/sealed certification letter or calculation package I will clearly document all assumptions and identify any required strengthening before certification. My PE license will be verified for the project jurisdiction before sealing. Please provide the project city/state, rafter span, roof slope, and support conditions.

Hi, Your roof certification is a strong match for my residential structural engineering experience. I can perform an independent engineering review of the proposed 2×12 SPF shed-roof framing and prepare the signed documentation required by the building department. The analysis will address: • Site-specific ground/roof snow loading • Wind pressure and uplift • Applicable seismic demands • Roof dead loads including metal, OSB, and spray foam • Rafter capacity and serviceability • Bearing and connection requirements • Roof-to-wall load transfer • IRC-compliant design assumptions and load combinations If the framing is adequate, I can issue a concise certification letter or full calculation package, depending on the AHJ requirement. If not, I will provide practical reinforcement recommendations. I have completed similar residential roof, vaulted-ceiling, and framing certification assignments. What is the unsupported horizontal span of the rafters and the project jurisdiction?
