I need a New Mexico-licensed professional engineer to create sealed structural drawings for a freestanding wood-framed gazebo/dormer that will hover above an existing roof with an air-gap—no gravity load will bear on the lower roof except for one intentional 10" × 10" wood post that must pass through the roof and carry a ridgebeam that will seat into two structural trusses. Key geometry • Roof width: 18 ft • Cantilever from eave: 12 ft • Return to tie-in ridge: 16 ft • Design roof snow load: 80–100 psf • Pier footing frost depth: 42 in Wood framing (posts, ridge beam, rafters, bracing) will transfer to concrete pier footings; your drawings should show the full load path, lateral bracing, uplift resistance, and the exact detailing for the roof penetration and post saddle. No calculation package is required—just the sealed drawings themselves—but accuracy must allow the local building department to approve without back-and-forth. Deliverables 1. PE-stamped structural drawings (plan, elevations, sections, connection details, footing schedule). 2. File formats: native CAD (DWG or similar) plus PDF ready for submission. Please base the design on current IBC/NM amendments and specify any proprietary connectors you rely on. One truss as externally visible from the open dormer end will be an uncovered and more visually appealing king truss or as pictured and the other truss will have a fascia covering applied.

Hello, I have experience preparing structural drawing packages for wood-framed roof structures, posts, pier footings, ridge beams, trusses, bracing, uplift resistance, and connection detailing. I am a good fit because your gazebo/dormer design needs a clear load path above the existing roof, with the 10" × 10" post, roof penetration, king truss, and concrete pier supports fully coordinated. I will develop PE-sealed structural drawings showing the framing plan, elevations, sections, footing schedule, roof penetration detail, post saddle, lateral bracing, uplift connectors, and truss-to-ridge beam connections. I will base the drawings on current IBC and New Mexico requirements, specify proprietary connectors where needed, and provide both PDF and native CAD files. I do not personally hold New Mexico PE licensure, but I can provide stamped and sealed results through an actively licensed New Mexico Professional Engineer I work with. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

We are a team of New Mexico-licensed Professional Engineer with over 10 years of structural design experience, we'd be glad to prepare the sealed structural drawings for your 18-ft-wide roof structure, including the 12-ft cantilever, 16-ft return, king-truss feature, ridge beam, posts, bracing, and concrete pier foundations. The unusual air-gap condition above the existing roof makes the load path, uplift resistance, lateral stability, and 10" × 10" post penetration especially important. We can detail these conditions clearly, including the post saddle and connection into the structural trusses, while keeping the exposed king truss architecturally attractive. The final package will include PE-sealed structural plans, elevations, sections, connection details, footing schedule, and specified proprietary connectors, prepared in accordance with applicable New Mexico code requirements and provided in PDF and native CAD format. I'd be glad to review your existing roof/truss information and discuss the project.

The core of this job is the cantilevered structure hovering above an existing roof, so I will approach it by first setting up the structural frame in AutoCAD, defining the main posts, ridge beam, and rafters, then checking the load path from the ridgebeam down through the single post to the pier footing, so it accounts for the 80-100 psf snow load and the 12 ft cantilever. I will detail the connection where the single post passes through the existing roof, so there's a clear air gap and no unintended load transfer, and also design the pier footing to the 42-inch frost depth. The part this job is most likely to hit is detailing the post saddle and roof penetration correctly so the air gap is maintained and the existing roof structure is not compromised, so I will use AutoCAD to model these connections precisely with specified clearances. I need to know if any wind load calculations are also required, or if snow load is the sole environmental factor to consider for the design. 8 reviews on here, everything delivered on time and on the agreed price so far, plus Preferred Freelancer status. I propose a short call on Freelancer to settle the scope, covering the pier footing design and the roof penetration detailing.

Hello, The critical issue here is the 12 ft cantilever and 80–100 psf snow load combined with the unusual load path through the roof penetration. The design cannot be treated as a conventional gazebo; the ridgebeam, trusses, post saddle, uplift, lateral bracing, and pier foundations all need to work as one continuous structural system. I’d develop the drawings around that load path first, including the roof air-gap and 10" × 10" post penetration, then detail the connections and footing schedule around the governing NM/IBC requirements. The king truss appearance can be incorporated without compromising the structural scheme. Do you already have the existing roof/truss drawings and site dimensions available for the engineer’s review?

Creating the sealed structural drawings for your gazebo presents specific challenges, especially with the air-gap above the existing roof. If the load path isn’t perfectly clear, it could lead to costly delays in approval from the building department. Getting the detailing right is crucial, as even a small oversight can complicate the approval process. I’d start with the load path analysis first, ensuring that every element, from the ridge beam to the post saddle, is accurately represented. This will help streamline approvals and prevent any unnecessary back-and-forth. I focus on precise detailing, especially for the roof penetration, based on current IBC/NM amendments. I’ve handled similar projects before, and revisions are standard in my process, ensuring everything meets strict local codes. What’s your deadline for the drawings? Do you have existing site plans or elevations to reference?

Hi Creating NM PE stamped structural drawings for your freestanding wood-framed gazebo above an existing roof with a 10" × 10" post main support is an exciting challenge. The key technical issue here is ensuring that the load path is adequately detailed from the ridge beam through the post to the concrete pier footings, considering the cantilevered design. To tackle this, I'll start by working through structural analysis using AutoCAD and focus on detailing for lateral bracing and uplift resistance, referencing the current IBC/NM amendments. I've worked on similar projects, like a residential structure needing detailed drawings for wood-framed extensions, ensuring every aspect adhered to local codes and was permit-ready. Your choice to have one truss visible as a king truss adds a striking design element, and I'll ensure it's integrated structurally and aesthetically. I can provide the precise sealed drawings you need and am here to guide you through how we'll detail the roof penetration and load path. Let's ensure these plans meet local building department standards without hiccups. Thanks, David

Hi, Primary risk is the high design roof snow load (80–100 psf) combined with a 12 ft cantilever and a single 10" × 10" post penetration; drawings must show continuous load path, uplift resistance, and lateral bracing so the lower roof sees no unintentional gravity loads. I will detail the post saddle, roof penetration flashing, and connection of the ridgebeam into the two trusses so the building department can approve without back-and-forth. I have produced PE-stamped structural drawings for wood-framed roof structures, cantilevered canopies, and freestanding perched elements under high snow loads, all prepared to IBC-based local amendments and submitted in native CAD plus PDF. My experience includes specifying pier footing details to frost depth and showing exact proprietary connectors and hold-downs on drawings ready for permit stamping. I will begin with a site condition checklist and a measured plan to confirm geometry, then produce plan, elevations, sections, connection details, and a footing schedule in DWG and permit-ready PDF. Sealed sheets will specify code citations, material grades, connector part numbers, and the post saddle and roof-penetration detail called out in the job. - Do you have as-built roof framing conditions and a roof framing plan I can tie into? - Are there any height, eave, or visual constraints at the dormer end that affect truss exposure? Regards, Christopher
