Hi, Thanks for sharing the project details. I can assist with the structural design and connection details for the 350–400 sq ft breezeway apron/walkway connection to the existing building in Tallahassee. My approach would be to first review the existing building plans/photos, proposed breezeway dimensions, foundation/slab condition, roof or canopy loads if applicable, drainage, attachment points, and local permitting requirements. I would then prepare structural drawings, connection details, load-path notes, foundation/anchorage details, and any required calculations for safe integration with the existing structure. I have experience with residential/light commercial structural design, walkway/canopy connections, foundation detailing, AutoCAD drawings, and permit coordination. If a Florida PE stamp is required, I can prepare the package for licensed review/stamping or coordinate that requirement as part of the scope. Regards,

Hi, I’d be happy to help with the breezeway apron connection for your Tallahassee property. Since the structure will connect to an existing building, I would focus on safe load transfer, proper anchorage, movement/drainage considerations, foundation support, and code-compliant construction details. I can review your site information, existing building drawings, photos, and proposed layout, then develop a practical structural design package for the 350–400 sq ft walkway area. Deliverables can include structural plans, sections, connection details, footing/slab recommendations, calculation notes, and permit-ready documentation. My goal would be to provide a clear, buildable solution that your contractor can follow and that addresses local plan-review expectations. I can also support revisions if the city or county requests comments during review. Regards,
