ChiefGregUser Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi, I have developed some plans in X12 premier for an 1800 ft^2 garage / workshop (~30'x647') that is attached to my existing house via a Porte-cochère. I have submitted it to the HOA, showing both the existing house and the additional building and it has been accepted. I created a plan of the original house and my vision of the additional new construction (garage/workshop). I haven't added the framing/electrical/plumbing yet, but would possibly like to use some of the 'perfect wall' designs that I saw Matt Risinger presents on his build show. Of course need to weight this against cost. Also, I need to be able to pull permits with the plans that I receive. Want to get an official sign off from the person who perfects these plans. The city does not require a licensed architect, but I would like to have one anyways. Generally people use post tension slab on grade in my area. If the person I engage is not a structural engineer, I may need to enlist a second person to do the foundation design. The design is 1.5 stories. Thanks, Greg Baty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefGregUser Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 The architect / engineer can work remote, but I am not sure if I need a physical engineering stamp. Just need someone who is licensed to work in Texas. I can do the leg work of delivering the plans to the city. Supervising the construction / contractors.

ChiefGregUser Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 I am a practicing Electrical Engineer, not that this matters, but I do understand the engineering aspects a little at least for the purpose of communications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
