Well im tying to get a permit to pour my concrete garage pad and i need to get a drawing of the layout of this 24ft by 30ft that is stamped by an approved new york state architect or engineer. I know it might be along shot but its worth the try to look for one lol. ---

you just need it approved by an architect/engineer? If so I’ll ask my brother-in-law, they just built a house, and his brother is a project manager I think for a architecture firm IIRC. ---

You need someone with a PE license, not just anyone with an engineering degree. PE’s probably aren’t going to sign something you drew up yourself. You might have to hire an engineering firm to make the drawings and then stamp them. Shitty. ---

Are you buying a garage kit type thing? Maybe 84 lumber would know of an inexpensive alternative to your problem as they sell the kits? ---

> [@boardjnky4](#): > > You’re surprised that they want signed drawings? Im not suprised at the drawing but the signed part i was, as i was informed by the building inspector if its less then 400sqft then signature is not required but beecause it exceeds 400sqft i would need footers and stamped drawing. ---
