Hi, Retrofitting container modules and barn-forms to meet U.S. code and site-specific structural loads is the most common risk I see: weakly detailed cut-outs, unsupported cantilevers, and connection details that fail at permit review. I focus on resolving those in concept so construction documents pass first review and contractors build without costly RFI cycles. I have designed and delivered numerous shipping container homes and timber-framed barn houses for U.S. clients, producing full architectural and coordinated structural drawing sets from concept through construction documentation. My experience includes foundation and framing details sized for common U.S. seismic and wind provisions, permit-ready elevations, sections, and permit submittals for county and municipal authorities. I work directly with structural engineers when required and produce coordinated CAD/Revit deliverables for contractors. I begin each project with a site-and-code checklist and a single coordinated model or CAD set so architectural geometry, structural framing and foundation details are resolved before issuing construction documents. - Your portfolio, particularly container homes and barn houses Please find portfolio items attached to my application showing multiple container and barn house projects with plan, elevation and section examples. - Examples of full architectural + structural sets you have completed Attached are sample full sets and a combined architectural/structural set demonstrating foundation, framing and connection details for prefabricated modules. - Examples of projects completed for U.S. clients Attached project pages identify U.S. client projects, jurisdictions, and permit outcomes. - Your experience with U.S. codes and permitting I have prepared permit sets per IBC, IRC, ASCE 7 wind/seismic provisions and local amendments for county and city jurisdictions; I handle code analysis memos and coordinate with plan check reviewers. - Software you use AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, and Bluebeam for markups and PDF permits; can deliver DWG, RVT, and PDF CD sets. - Hourly/project rates Typical hourly rate $85; small concept packages $1,200; full permit-ready CD + structural coordination $6,500–$18,000 depending on scope. - Availability and typical turnaround time Current availability for new clients; typical turnaround: schematic concept 7–14 days, permit-ready CD set 4–8 weeks depending on scope and structural coordination. - Would you like me to review one site plan or program now to provide a fixed-fee estimate? - Which U.S. jurisdictions and typical lot sizes will we be working in? Always up for a quick conversation if you have questions. Christopher
