I’m looking for an experienced structural engineer to prepare a basic member schedule for a steel grain shed. This is for preliminary estimating and material take-offs only, not a final certified design. Project Details: * Wind Region A * Building size: 42m (L) × 42m (W) * Eave height: 9m * 12m lean-to on one side * Parallel chorded roof trusses * UB columns * UB rafters to the lean-to * Angle bracing * 18m clear-span sliding door on one gable end * 1 × 6m sliding door on the opposite gable end * 3m high reinforced concrete walls between the columns (grain shed application) Required Deliverables: * Preliminary member schedule for all primary steel members. * Indicative sizes for trusses, columns, rafters, bracing and major connection members. * Steel tonnage estimate, if possible. * Advice on whether the 3m concrete walls materially affect the primary steel design. This is not for final certification or detailed engineering. The purpose is to establish member sizes so we can accurately price the project. If we are successful in securing the project, we are looking to continue with the same engineer to complete the full structural design and provide certification in accordance with the relevant Australian Standards. Please only apply if you are suitably qualified and able to sign off on the final design for construction in Australia. Please provide: * Relevant experience with large steel portal frame or grain storage buildings. * Estimated turnaround time. * Fixed price for the preliminary member schedule.

As an multi Software-using every vast range of 3D modelling, 2D and Structural engineer, I have the relevant skills and experience you need to effectively and accurately complete the preliminary member schedule for your steel grain shed project. With my Australian based experience and in-depth knowledge of steel portal frame structures, I’m able to efficiently draft up an indicative sizes for trusses, columns, rafters, bracing and major connection members. Adding to my solid engineering background, I'm equally fluent in AutoCAD, REVIT and Tekla among other software that will aid in producing a precise tonnage estimation for the entire structure. Furthermore my understanding of the relevant Australian building codes & standards matches yours making me an ideal choice to assess whether or not the three meter concrete walls will materially affect the primary steel design. Given that our collaboration will extend beyond the member scheduling phase to include the full structural design and certification process if hired, selecting me will ensure a seamless handover without any misinterpretations or inconsistencies as I am skilled across the board- 3D modeling, engineering and project management. My expertise is best reflected in my consistent delivery of high quality work on time and within budget. So let's get started on maximizing your accuracy in pricing this project!

With more than a decade of experience as a structural engineer, focusing on large-scale steel portal frame buildings like the one you're looking to build, I'm confident that I can deliver exactly what you need. I hold a strong understanding of materials and design construction, which makes me ideally suited to generate and provide you with the preliminary member schedule you require for accurate project pricing. Included in my skill set is expertise in AutoCAD, which will enable me to easily incorporate your required design elements - from the sliding doors to the angled bracing - into a cohesive plan that meets all regulations for Wind Region A. In addition to this, I also possess substantial knowledge about Australian Standards, further ensuring accuracy and adherence to your local building codes.

I have worked on similar structural steel building projects involving portal frames, industrial sheds, preliminary member sizing, and fabrication-oriented design studies. Are you looking for a structural engineer who can prepare a reliable preliminary steel member schedule to support accurate project estimating and future detailed design development? I am a Structural Design Engineer with experience in steel structures, industrial buildings, CAD/BIM coordination, and structural documentation. I can review your grain shed requirements, evaluate the load path, and develop indicative member sizes for trusses, columns, rafters, bracing, and associated structural elements while considering practical fabrication requirements. Scope I Can Support Preliminary steel member schedule Roof truss and frame sizing recommendations UB column and rafter selection Bracing arrangement review Steel tonnage estimation Assessment of 3m reinforced concrete wall interaction with steel structure Engineering notes for estimating purposes Deliverables Preliminary Member Schedule Indicative Steel Member Sizes Material Take-Off / Tonnage Estimate Structural Design Notes Recommendations for Further Detailed Design I would be happy to discuss the design assumptions, Australian Standard requirements, and the pathway toward a future certified construction design package.

Greetings, It looks like you need a structural engineer to create a preliminary member schedule for a steel grain shed. I can help you with that by preparing a detailed schedule that outlines the sizes of the trusses, columns, rafters, and bracing needed for your 42m x 42m structure. My goal will be to ensure you have the information necessary for accurate estimating and material take-offs. With my experience in designing large steel portal frame buildings, I can provide you with indicative sizes and an estimate of the steel tonnage required. I understand the importance of the concrete walls in your design and will assess their impact on the overall steel structure. I look forward to collaborating with you on this project and possibly continuing our partnership for the final design and certification.

Hi, I have experience producing preliminary steel member schedules, framing layouts, and estimating packages for industrial and agricultural steel structures. I can prepare a practical preliminary schedule for the 42m × 42m grain shed, including indicative sizes for the trusses, UB columns, lean-to rafters, bracing, and key connection members, together with a steel tonnage estimate for pricing. For a shed like this, the 3m reinforced concrete wall can materially affect column restraint, load path, and overall frame behavior, so I would review it carefully rather than treat it as secondary. I can turn this around quickly once the loading criteria and preferred cladding/roof assumptions are confirmed. One important note: if final construction certification in Australia is required, that stage would need to be completed by an engineer authorized to sign off there. If you already have that pathway in place, I can support the preliminary sizing package efficiently. Estimated turnaround for the preliminary schedule: [2–4 days] Fixed price: [your price] Best, Florin
