I am adding a 12' × 40' lean-to porch roof to an existing structure in a 130 MPH wind zone and need a Georgia-licensed Professional Engineer to take full responsibility for the structural design and provide a signed and sealed set of drawings. Scope • Structure: wood-framed lean-to roof bearing on the existing wall’s top plate, supported at the outer edge by new piers. • Foundation: design the pier layout, size, reinforcing, and embedment to satisfy local soil and wind-uplift requirements. • Drawings: structural only—framing plan, member schedules, connection details, uplift/drag-strap specification, and pier details, all formatted for permit submission. • Calculations: wind load, gravity, and lateral analysis demonstrating compliance with current Georgia Residential Code (based on the IBC/IRC 2021 wind maps at 130 MPH). • Deliverable: one PDF set stamped and signed for the State of Georgia, plus the supporting calcs; DWG file is a bonus but not mandatory. Acceptance Your stamp must be verifiable through the Georgia PE board, and the jurisdiction should be able to contact you directly if needed. All dimensions and notes must coordinate with the existing building’s top plate elevation that I will supply. I can provide as-built photos, site measurements, and any additional information you request right away. Let me know your lead time and any questions so we can move forward.

Hello, I am interested in your 12' × 40' lean-to porch roof project in Georgia. I have a professional structural engineering team with experience in wood-framed structures, foundations, wind-load design, connections, and residential permit drawings. We can develop the framing and pier design, including uplift, gravity, lateral loads, connections, and required reinforcing. Our Georgia-licensed PE can review, sign, and seal the final structural drawings and supporting calculations for permit submission. Please provide the existing building information, site measurements, photos, and top-plate elevation. After reviewing the details, we can provide a fixed fee and turnaround time. Thank you.

Hello, Your project is a strong match for my residential structural engineering experience. I can design the proposed wood-framed lean-to porch roof and provide a complete Georgia-stamped structural set for permit submission. Deliverables can include: • Structural roof framing plan • Rafter, beam, post, and connection schedule • Pier and footing details • Reinforcing and embedment requirements • Uplift and drag-strap specifications • Gravity, wind, and lateral calculations • Existing-building attachment details • Signed/sealed PDF drawings and calcs I will verify bending, shear, deflection, bearing, uplift, sliding, and overturning as applicable. The design will be coordinated with your supplied top-plate elevation and existing framing. I have completed similar porch and roof additions in high-wind regions and understand the importance of continuous load-path detailing. Please send photos, dimensions, and any local permit checklist.

Hi — Jennifer here. I understand you need a permit-ready structural package for a lean-to roof addition that can satisfy Georgia PE requirements and withstand a 130 MPH wind zone. The critical part is ensuring the complete load path—from roof framing and wall connection to uplift resistance and pier foundation design—is properly calculated and documented. I would approach the design by reviewing the existing structure conditions first, then developing coordinated framing, connection, wind, gravity, and foundation details that align with code requirements and permit review expectations. My skills include structural engineering, AutoCAD, engineering drawings, and construction-focused design documentation. I would be glad to review your as-built information and discuss the details needed to prepare the stamped structural package.
