Engineer here. Dm me and I’ll run you through the math of your live and dead loads. You’ll likely need some data for your location like snow loads, wind loads, any seismic or anything else that will be in the building. I need pitch of the roof and the materials you plan to use and any opening or penetrations. I’ll need to know the makeup of your headers and the makeup of your structure ie. Wood studs, metal studs, lvl engineered lumber, steel beam etc.. I’ll also need the risk category and soil test results. Assuming this is residential. You should have a print and that’s where I would take off all of this info. It’s the architects job to track all of this down with the authority having jurisdiction who issues the permits.
