Consultant to review steel building insulation plan?

Midwayman | Posted in General Questions on

I am finishing a steel building (steel siding, steel framing, steel secondary framing) and am designing a plan for insulation.  I have asked questions on here a few times now, and often get differing opinions on good target R values, proper moisture control, material choices etc. 

I am now wondering if there is a professional here who would be willing to look at the design and critique and double check the details.  This would not really be a ground-up design, but more of a review of my existing plans and see if there are issues and/or better solutions.  I have cross sectional drawings of all of the walls (see attached picture) and roof as well as the insulation that has already been installed (continuous 1″ XPS, R-5 on walls, and 3″ roll insulation with vapor barrier on roof). 

Please let me know if anyone is interested and the cost to do something like this. 

Thanks in advance.
