I’m building a new front porch with a footprint that isn’t a perfect rectangle, so the support posts must follow an irregular line while still reading as classic, time-honored millwork. I already know the structure is sound; what I need now is your design eye and engineering skill to turn my rough carpenter’s layout into fully detailed post drawings that match a traditional style. Here’s what I’m expecting: letter with a drawing supporting the design. Would like to use something like a simpson ABU66Z or 88Z.

Hi! I’ve reviewed your project, and I’m very interested in helping you translate that irregular carpenter’s layout into a set of sophisticated, structurally sound post drawings. Designing for an irregular footprint requires more than just a 'rough' approach; it requires a keen eye for classical proportions to ensure that, despite the technical layout, the final result looks symmetrical and timeless to the naked eye. How I will approach your project: Structural Integration: I’m very familiar with the Simpson ABU66Z/88Z series. I will design the post bases to perfectly integrate these brackets, ensuring the 1-inch standoff is hidden by a proper traditional plinth/pedestal. Classical Millwork Detail: I will provide detailed drawings for a built-up post design (Tuscan or Craftsman style), including the base, shaft, neck mold (astragal), and capital. This 'layering' technique will allow us to mask any slight alignment shifts in the irregular footprint. Precision Specs: You’ll receive clear, annotated drawings that your carpenter can follow to the letter, ensuring the 'time-honored' look you’re after. I’d love to discuss your porch’s specific dimensions to get started on the first draft. Looking forward to working with you!

Hi, there I saw you need a traditional porch post design with a supporting drawing I can turn your layout into clean, buildable details that keep a classic look while working with your irregular footprint. I’ve worked on similar porch detailing and can design proportioned posts, bases, and connections that follow traditional millwork while aligning correctly along your layout line. I’ll prepare a clear drawing showing post placement, dimensions, and connection details, including compatibility with bases like Simpson Strong-Tie ABU66Z or Simpson Strong-Tie ABU88Z. You’ll also receive a supporting letter describing the design intent and structural logic for review. I can start immediately and share a draft layout quickly so we can confirm alignment and proportions before finalizing. The price can be adjusted after reviewing your sketch and dimensions. Let’s get started. Best regards, Qayyom Malik

I can help translate your layout into clean, buildable post drawings that maintain a traditional, time-honored look while resolving the irregular footprint properly. I have experience detailing porch structures, column layouts, and connection systems, ensuring posts align visually while remaining structurally correct. Using bases like the Simpson ABU66Z or ABU88Z, I’ll develop precise post positions, anchorage details, and proportions that read as classic millwork rather than purely structural elements. I’ll provide a formal letter with supporting drawings, including plan references, post alignment, base connections, and key dimensions—clear enough for both approval and construction. The goal is to make the irregular layout feel intentional and well-composed. I work in AutoCAD, delivering clean, dimensioned drawings in PDF (and DWG if needed), with attention to both aesthetics and practical installation. Happy to review your sketch and get started right away.
