I need a licensed structural engineer to prepare and wet-stamp complete construction drawings for a 30' × 50' × 12' cow shed built from galvanized steel tube framing. The generic supplier plans I have on hand are already rated for 140 mph wind loads, but the county will only accept site-specific, engineer-sealed documents. Scope • Turn the existing generic layout into permit-ready structural drawings that satisfy current IBC and local codes. • Show all member sizes, connection details, foundation/slab design, bracing, and fastening schedules suitable for galvanized steel. • Confirm the 140 mph design wind speed (or advise if a different value is required for code compliance) and document all load calculations. • Provide signed, wet-stamped sheets in PDF for electronic submission plus two mailed hard copies. Acceptance Drawings must be clear enough for the building department to issue a permit without revision requests and for a contractor to build directly from them. Please include your state of licensure and turnaround time when you respond.

Hi, Anish! Thank you for sharing the details of your cow shed project and the specific requirements from your county. I understand you need complete, site-specific construction drawings prepared and wet-stamped by a structural engineer to ensure your galvanized steel tube frame meets both IBC and local code standards. I have extensive experience transforming supplier layouts into permit-ready structural documents for agricultural and similar metal building projects. My background includes working with galvanized steel systems and navigating the building permit process across various US jurisdictions, so I’m confident I can provide exactly what your county requires. Here’s how I’ll approach your project: - Review your existing supplier plans, site details, and wind load requirements - Perform a full structural design evaluation to verify code compliance for all loads - Prepare sealed drawings showing framing, connections, foundations/slab, bracing, and fastening suitable for galvanized steel - Compile all load and wind calculations, adjusting as needed to local codes - Deliver signed, wet-stamped PDFs and hard copy sets as required - Support you through the permit review, addressing questions or comments as they arise To get started, could you please send the supplier drawings, site location, any survey or geotechnical information, and jurisdiction comments if available? Let me know of any unique site factors as well. Best regards, Morris
