Welcome
Penn Engineering Group, P. C. is a professional engineering firm that helps companies and individuals get their post-frame building projects completed. We help by providing design, and drawing services for post-frame structures. Francis Murphy, P.E., President of the Penn Engineering Group, P. C. has been designing post-frame buildings for over 15 years. Over that time, he has designed post-frame buildings for many types of building uses. We can provide complete drawing sets, bills of material, or provide technical assistance of specific areas of a post-frame building design. We can provide engineering help to Post-frame Builders, and Contractors who do not have an engineer on staff. Penn Engineering Group, P. C. is a member of the National Frame Building Association.
We will work with you to design what you want and need. We have knowledge of the Building Codes as they apply to post-frame construction.
We understand you need fast turn-around time for drawings. We can respond quickly.
We can provide technical assistance to help you obtain a building permit. We can provide calculations to submit to Plan Reviewers and permitting officials when necessary. We can respond by letter, phone, fax, or email with Plan Reviewers when they have questions reviewing the drawings.
Whether you need drawings for a simple structure or a more complex structure, we can provide what you need to help get your project completed. Among other possibilities, we can design post-frame buildings that may include but not limited to:
Attaching a new structure to an existing structure, or adding onto an existing structure
Open-sided buildings (high uplift forces)
Pavilions
Pole buildings with Lean-To's
Pole buildings with Porches
Monitor style roofs
Attic styled trussed roofs
Gambrel-attic styled trussed roofs
Scissors trusses, or dual-pitched roof trusses
Large span trusses
Shingled roofs
Interior staircase to attic space
Roof-mounted solar panels
Buildings with different height roofs (additional surcharge roof snow loading due to aerodynamic drifting on lower roofs)
Design of decorative fabricated steel brackets for attachment of roof-support beams to posts.
Under the tabs "Technical Tips" and "More" you can find articles covering important design topics for post-frame buildings. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions. We welcome your questions.
