Overview
PE-stamped and sealed plans are engineering documents signed and sealed by a licensed Professional Engineer, certifying that the design meets applicable building codes and engineering standards. In Connecticut, most building departments require PE-stamped structural plans for permits involving new construction, additions, structural alterations, foundation work, retaining walls over 4 feet, and deck construction. Our stamped plan sets include structural calculations, construction details, and specifications—prepared, signed, and sealed by a Connecticut-licensed PE, ready for direct submission to any building department in the state.
Deliverables
When to Call
You need PE-stamped plans when: applying for a building permit for new construction, additions, or structural alterations; building a deck that requires a permit; constructing a retaining wall over 4 feet in height; modifying or repairing a foundation; changing a building's occupancy or use; installing rooftop equipment that adds load to a roof structure; or when a building official specifically requests engineered plans. Having PE-stamped plans also protects you legally and financially—the engineer's seal demonstrates that a qualified professional has taken responsibility for the structural design's safety and code compliance.
Code Compliance
Our stamped plans comply with the Connecticut State Building Code (CSBC), which adopts the IRC and IBC with Connecticut amendments. Calculations follow ASCE 7 for structural loads, ACI 318 for concrete design, AISC 360 for steel design, and the NDS for wood design. We incorporate Connecticut's frost depth (42 inches minimum), snow loads (30–40 psf), wind speed requirements, and seismic design categories. Every plan set is sealed under Connecticut Professional Engineering License #0038190 and accepted by building departments statewide.
