Structural Design Services — Based in Houston, Available Remotely
Whether you're planning a custom structure or need engineering-level detail on an existing concept, I provide structural design services that turn your ideas into build-ready documentation. Based in Houston, TX, and working with clients nationwide — all design work is handled remotely through file sharing, video calls, and collaborative CAD tools.
What I do
I work with clients to design structures across a range of materials and applications, including:
- Steel structure design and detailing
- Sheet metal structural components
- Wood-frame and timber structures
- Custom architectural and decorative structural elements (stairs, railings, platforms, and more)
- Member sizing and connection details
- Cut-lists to support accurate material costing and procurement
How I work
I take your ideas — sketches, rough concepts, or a general vision — and develop them into detailed structural drawings with member specifications and connection details. Every design includes a cut-list, so you (or your fabricator/contractor) have a clear, itemized breakdown for costing materials before construction begins.
Industries and project types
Structural design work spans residential, commercial, and custom fabrication projects — from floating staircases and custom platforms to full structural framing in steel, sheet metal, or wood. If you have an unconventional design in mind, I bring a mechanical engineering background to structural challenges that a traditional structural drafter might not.
Why work with me
I use SolidWorks for structural design work, which lets me model connections and details with the same precision as mechanical parts — helpful when a project blends structural and mechanical elements (custom railings with hardware, mechanized platforms, etc.). You get accurate drawings and a cut-list ready to hand off to your fabricator or contractor.
