Professional sign-off is a separate scopeThis listing delivers engineering work, not certification. Platform verification is not a licence to practise, and no badge here authorises stamping or sealing in any jurisdiction. If your submission requires a registered professional, engage one registered where the project is located.

Frequently asked

What exactly do I need to provide before you start?

To begin I need: 3D scan data (STL/point cloud) or physical part; Critical dimensions; Material identification; Intended reproduction process. If anything is missing I will tell you within the first working day rather than guessing and building on a wrong assumption.

Can you stamp or seal the drawings for my jurisdiction?

Not through this listing. Platform verification confirms credentials; it is not a licence to practise. If your jurisdiction requires a stamped submission, hire a locally registered engineer for sign-off — I can prepare the package so that review is straightforward, and I can recommend how to scope it.

Which standard will you design to?

I normally work to ASME BPVC Section VIII, ASME Y14.5, ISO 2768. Nominate your standard and jurisdiction in the brief and I will confirm before starting; the design basis memo records the choice explicitly.

What if the scope grows once you see the files?

I raise a change request with the cost and schedule impact before doing the extra work. The scope is never silently expanded, and you approve any change before it becomes billable.

Do I own the output?

Yes. On final payment the deliverables and their IP transfer to you. Native source files are included in the Premium package or available as an add-on.

Responsive, clear, and realistic about what could be achieved in the timeline we had. Pushed back on one requirement that would have been unsafe to rush, which we appreciated even though it was not what we wanted to hear at the time.

Took our incomplete brief, came back with the right questions, and produced a design basis we ended up using as the reference document for the whole project. Would hire again without hesitation.
