I am ready to move from rough sketches to a fully engineered plan for a two-storey load-bearing brick home and I need an experienced structural engineer to lead the way. The brief in a nutshell: The structure must be demonstrably earthquake-resistant—this is my top priority. Exposed bricks will form the exterior skin, while clay bricks are reserved for the interior leaf. Between the two I want a well-insulated cavity; I also need guidance on the most appropriate wall bond to keep the façade visually appealing yet structurally sound. Inside the layout, the hall and all bathrooms will carry conventional RCC slabs, but every bedroom and living space is to be topped with a Rohtak dome. I need you to confirm the dome geometry, reinforcement and connection details so the system works together under seismic loading. Foundation choice is still open. Please evaluate strip, raft and pile solutions for the soil data I will supply and recommend the safest, most economical option. Deliverables I expect: • Complete structural calculations and drawings for walls, slabs, domes and foundations, stamped if you are licensed to do so. • Reinforcement schedules, bar bending details and construction notes compliant with current seismic codes. • Cavity wall section showing insulation type, thickness and tie pattern. • A concise construction sequence or method statement so my local mason can follow your intent. • A short Q&A session (video or written) to clarify any field issues once work begins. Familiarity with IS 456, IS 1893 or equivalent seismic standards is preferred; proficiency in tools such as STAAD, ETABS or SAFE will help you deliver faster, but feel free to use any calculation software you trust. If you have designed brick-bearing, seismically sound houses before, I would love to see a sample sheet or two. Let’s make this home beautiful, comfortable and—most importantly—safe.
