Engineer for Quonset hut modification

[BairDesign]

I just drew a Quonset hut modified into an apartment. Does anyone know an engineer willing/able to engineer it?

 

Thanks!

OP, a Quonset hut is a manufactured product, pre-made materials will be delivered and it will be assembled rather than built.  You'll really need to get in touch with whatever manufacturer is used to supply the hut shell and find out the cost to get a certified copy of their engineered documents.  Usually these manufacturers will have certification across a huge swath of States, maybe need a local engineer just for the foundation.  Something to check with the manufacturer before any order: make sure it has or can design to standards that meet IBC risk category II; most ag-accessory buildings are Risk I with associated "less stringent" requirements.  Risk Category II is "normal" and associated with living spaces.

 

Then (depending on jurisdiction), all you really need is a floor layout, insulation, and egress requirements.  Most likely an engineer not part of the manufacturer's original design will not want to retroactively design that type of system without stratospheric costs associated with recalculating/modeling the whole thing.
