Deliverables

What you receive

A complete, engineer-reviewed structural package — the same documents a full-service firm produces, delivered through your project dashboard.

What you receive

Sample structural framing plan sheet with grid lines, a new glulam beam and posts

Structural drawings

Framing plans, foundation plans and shear-wall schedules keyed to your architectural set — sheet-numbered and plan-check ready.

Sample structural calculation page for a flush beam with checks marked OK

Structural calculations

Gravity and lateral calculations that match the drawings, member by member, so plan checkers can follow the load path.

Sample connection detail showing a beam bearing on a post with a post cap and through-bolts

Details & connections

Beam-to-post, holdown, footing and connection details your framer can build from — no guesswork on site.

Plus permit-correction responses and revisions through the same project. Get your quote →

Pricing, honestly

What actually drives the price

No two projects price the same — these are the factors our engineers scope. You get one fixed number after a free review, not an hourly meter.

Number of structural items

Three comments and thirty are different responses — we price the actual list, item by item.

Whether existing engineering exists

Responding within someone else's design is sometimes possible; sometimes a section must be re-engineered.

Documentation available

The original submitted set plus the letter usually gets us there; missing drawings add work.

Your deadline

Tell us the response date on the letter — corrections are prioritized against agency deadlines.

The risk is on us: free scope review, fixed price, and no commitment until you accept.

Why JAT

Built like software, reviewed like a firm.

The engineering is the same discipline you'd expect from any licensed structural firm. The way you order it, track it and receive it is not.

Before you ask

The letter gives me 30 days. Can you make it?+

Tell us the deadline in the intake — correction cases are scheduled against agency due dates and your dashboard shows the target. If a deadline isn't workable, we'll say so at the scope review, before you've committed anything.

Can you respond to comments on another engineer's design?+

Often, yes. Upload the correction letter and the existing structural set; we'll tell you whether we can respond within that design or whether part of it needs re-engineering — and quote it either way.

What does a correction response cost?+

It depends entirely on the list, so we quote after reviewing your letter — free, within one business day. You get one fixed price for the defined items.

What do you deliver back?+

Revised engineer-reviewed sheets and calculations plus an item-by-item response the plan checker can follow, signed and sealed where required. If the city replies with more comments, they run through the same project.
