The design challenges of Light Frame structures, is to manage the strength and stiffness of the system, in such a way that the basic response of its structual members is not altered.
The best approach for the design light frame structures to deliver best performance for the load sharing and composite action of the overall system, at a feasible construction cost.
Our engineering team engineers structures in the Residential, Commercial, Institutional and Industrial categories.
Though we primarily cater to the US market, yet our services are designed, to meet the needs of our clients from different geographies.
We do structural design and drafting for wooden structures, namely light and heavy frame structures. For single and multifamily homes, our team designs excellent framing plans for floor, roof and wall framing plans.
Whether the roof assembly consist of trusses or rafters, our team does extremely accurate designs for both. Since roof framing requires special attention in high windzones
We also do analysis and design for load bearing beams using ASD technique keeping all the necessary parameters in check to maximise
Our design expertise in wood include wooden staircases, patios, pergolas design, footing for load bearing columns and retaining walls.
We do Light frame wood/timber structures for single and multifamily homes, custom residential homes and commercial buildings. We ensure our designs withstand high pressure wind in Windstorm pronea areas.
For all US based projects our team references the IBC 2015, IRC 2015 building codes and ASCE 7-10
For existing structure upgrades we use International Existing Building Code (IEBC), 2015 Edition and the National Fire Protection Association 2012 101 Code for fire protection.
We further select the specific as per the building classification code, from the Groups A, B, E, F, I, M, R and S. We also keep in the design purpose and the current occupancy in mind.
We also keep the ADA Act code in reference for people with disabilities, when we design different category structures depending on the use.
AutoCAD is an industry standard software in the civil engineering, where majority of architectural, structural drafting is done.
Our team heavily uses AutoCAD whether for PDF to CAD conversions or drawing structural plans. The ability to clearly draw plans along with sections is unmatched in AutoCAD.
For Analysis, Design and Calculations for wooden structures we use ENERCALC and FORTE software. They also generate quick custom reports.
We use STAAD Pro for wind analysis in zone A, B and C, especially while designing wooden roof trusses or rafter assembly.
