1st order is that I'm looking for a structural engineer licensed in CA. There is an unbelievable amount of building going on in the SF bay area so getting on anyone local's calendar has proven a challenge.
2nd order is to get some upfront guidance on expanding a room out onto an existing 4' cantilevered balcony. The plan is to double up the existing 2X10 16OC joists. I've heard 3:1 and 2:1 floor joist ratios as rules of thumb and want to be sure as this may impact the direction we take on the plans. Again, looking for a CA engineer to advise.
Can anyone help me locate a resource for this?
