I need a structural engineer to design a glazed link. This glazing link is situated between an existing hotel and a new extension being built now . A few comments below to help assessing what we need and help with your pricing The roof panel to be divided in smaller sections , hopefully small enough to be manhandled when fixing without a crane if possible. The vertical glass height to be calculated considering the section attached, the height mentioned in the previous sent drawings was calculated for a smaller distance ffl to ceiling, please adjust accordingly. The glass to be triple glazed Doesn't need to be walk on glass Let me know if you need anything else please. I hope this makes sense . Thank you Requirements: - Large skylight (over 50 sq ft) - Laminated glass as the primary material Ideal Skills and Experience: - Expertise in glazing structures, particularly skylights - Experience with laminated glass - Relevant engineering certifications

Hi Mario G., Last week I delivered a very similar glazed link between an existing hotel and a new extension, so I’m confident I can handle this really well. I’ll design a large, laminated, triple‑glazed skylight and verticals, re‑calculate the glass height per the new FFL‑to‑ceiling, and break the roof into handable modules so a crane isn’t needed. Since it’s not walk‑on, I’ll optimise thickness and weight while meeting impact and maintenance loads. I plan joints, tolerances, drainage, and install method up‑front to avoid delays, confusion, and re‑work on site. i would like to know the below. - Which jurisdiction/codes and design loads (wind, snow, maintenance) should I use, and do you need signed/stamped calcs and drawings? - What is the max manual handling weight/size allowed on site, and how many installers will be available? I think we should. - Use triple‑glazed IGUs with laminated safety plies and heat‑soaked toughened glass to control deflection and improve safety. - Detail a thermally‑broken steel/aluminium frame with slotted fixings and a continuous movement joint between buildings for long‑term water‑tightness. Lets follow a plan like this. 1) I review your drawings, FFLs, site photos; confirm spans, supports, and tolerances. 2) I run calcs for glass and frame; check deflection, edge stress, and fixings

Hi — I’m Mohand, a talented structural engineer with extensive experience in glazed links, skylights, and building connections between existing structures and new extensions. I’ve designed multiple large skylights and glazed links using laminated and triple-glazed units, and I’m familiar with detailing for hand-installable roof panels (to avoid crane use) and non-walkable glazed roofs. I will calculate vertical glass heights using the attached section and revise previous dimensions to account for the actual floor-to-ceiling distance you’ve now provided. My work includes producing AutoCAD details, structural calculations, connection design, and load checks to meet local codes and certification requirements. I have strong mechanical and structural engineering background and hold relevant engineering qualifications for glazing structures and building design.

"Hello, thank you for the project details. I am a specialist in 3D modeling and mechanical design using SolidWorks. I can take on the part of this project that requires precise 3D modeling of the glazed link in SolidWorks, including the structural frame, glass panels, and connections. I can deliver a high-quality, fully parametric SolidWorks model and detailed fabrication drawings. However, I am not a certified structural engineer, so I cannot perform the structural calculations (load-bearing, wind/snow loads, etc.) or provide the engineering certifications. If you have another engineer who can do the calculations and certification, I can complete the SolidWorks modeling part of the work. Let me know if this works for you."

Hello, I have experience designing structural glazing links, skylights, laminated glass roof panels, and glass connections between existing and new building areas. I am interested in this project because the glazed link needs careful structural design, practical panel sizing for installation, and coordination with the hotel and extension levels. I will review the drawings and section, recalculate the vertical glass height, assess the triple-glazed laminated roof and side panels, and divide the roof into manageable sections where possible. I will provide structural glazing notes, panel sizing, support requirements, connection details, and calculations suitable for review, while keeping the design practical for installation without unnecessary crane dependency. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin
