Terms & Conditions

Structural Express is a drafting firm. We provide structural drafting, CAD drafting, plan-documentation, redline-incorporation, and related production support only.

Structural Express does not offer or practice engineering in California and does not make engineering judgments, perform engineering calculations, determine code compliance, or act as engineer of record.

All engineering calculations and signed or sealed plan sets must be contracted directly between the client and an independent California-licensed Professional Engineer.

The client is responsible for selecting, retaining, paying, and communicating with any architect, licensed engineer, or other design professional required for the project. Those professionals retain responsibility for their services and responsible charge over their work.

Our drafting documents are prepared from sketches, markups, calculations, design criteria, measurements, photos, and other information supplied by the client or the client's project professionals.

The client and the applicable licensed professional are responsible for the accuracy, adequacy, and completeness of all source information and for reviewing every deliverable before use, construction, or submission.

The accepted offer defines the drafting scope. Work not expressly listed—including added sheets, redesign, engineering analysis, calculations, field verification, or changes caused by revised source information—is outside the scope.

Additional drafting work requires written approval of a change order and any related fee before it begins.

Packages include only the number of drafting-revision cycles stated in the accepted offer.

We may incorporate redlines or plan-check comments after they have been interpreted and directed by the client's architect or independently retained licensed engineer. Structural Express does not independently resolve engineering comments or determine the technical response.

The owner, contractor, architect, or other designated party is responsible for permit applications, fees, submissions, and agency coordination.

We do not guarantee permit issuance or acceptance by any jurisdiction. Drafting documents must be reviewed and approved by the client's appropriate licensed professional before submission or construction.

Structural Express does not provide site inspection, construction observation, testing, surveying, temporary-shoring direction, or construction means-and-methods services.

The contractor and project professionals are responsible for field verification, safety, sequencing, existing conditions, and conformity of construction to approved documents.

Fees are due according to the accepted offer. Work begins after the required initial payment and receipt of complete source information.

Payment links remain active for seven days. If a link expires, contact us for a replacement.

Any refund or revision commitment applies only to the drafting scope expressly stated in the accepted offer and never guarantees permit approval or the work of independent professionals.

Deliverables are provided in the file formats stated in the offer. After full payment, the client receives a license to use them only for the named project and location.

Deliverables may not be reused, resold, or applied to another project without written permission and appropriate professional review.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability is limited to the fees paid for the specific drafting services giving rise to the claim.

We are not responsible for engineering decisions, calculations, signed or sealed documents, professional review, construction, or the acts or omissions of clients, contractors, architects, licensed professionals, or agencies.

Timelines begin when all required source files and directions are received. Client or consultant delays extend the schedule accordingly.

We communicate primarily through the project dashboard and email. The client must keep contact information current.

The version in effect when an offer is accepted governs that engagement.
