I would like to know if there is a engineer or architect that could look at my timber frame and make suggestions. Also, what is the going rate to have someone draw a truss design?
Thanks!

Do you need to submit to the county? IF so, you need an engineer licensed in your state. I used Ben from Fire Tower Engineered Timber out of Rhode Island. He is licensed for California and IIRC, Rhode Island and Massachusetts - maybe a few other states. Cost depend on the work. I maintained the drawings, Ben over saw the work (highest wage) with a junior engineer doing most of the work. I spent a few thousand on getting the plans signed off. Then the county wanted some changes/clarifications.
Hi Tyler! Welcome to the forum. What part of Nebraska are you in. I'm in the Southeast corner. Forum member Jim Rogers does design work. He has designed 3 structures for me and has an engineer that must be licensed in NE.

I am in McCook Nebraska!(southwest)... I don't need to submit anything because my county doesn't require, I just don't want to order timbers until I know my plan is right. I don't need anyone to oversee etc, just to look at the plan.
Thanks!

What software did you use for that design?
This thread is a couple months old, but I believe that drawing was done in sketchup, and it looks amazingly similar to a design I saw in the sketchup 3D warehouse. If you were not familiar with it, sketchup is a great drawing program available for free use and also in a pro version, about $700.
