Hi, This is Maksim. I can assist with the structural engineering scope for your single-family container home, ensuring the foundation and framing systems are designed in accordance with the International Building Code (IBC) and applicable Illinois requirements. My approach focuses on properly defining load paths, connection design, and overall structural stability for container-based construction, including foundation anchorage and lateral force resistance. I can also coordinate the engineering calculations and structural drawings required for permit submission, with a clear and efficient timeline based on your project stage and inputs. Thank you.

Hi, I have worked on similar residential structural projects where foundation layout, framing support, load paths, and code-related details needed to be clearly developed for permit and construction review. I also have experience supporting non-traditional residential builds, including modular or steel-framed concepts, where structural coordination and practical construction details are especially important. Best regards, Epa
