Wall Removal: What Our Structural Engineers Look For

Before removing any wall in your home or commercial space, it's critical to determine if it's a load-bearing wall. Our structural professionals conduct thorough analyses to:

  • Evaluate existing support systems and the condition of the current wall.

  • Identify how loads are transferred through the specific bearing wall from the ceiling, joists, and roof.

  • Calculate new beam and support requirements, considering the span and loads. This might involve a structural beam, an engineered beam, or other types of support beams.

  • Develop appropriate replacement structural plans, ensuring the new beam and any necessary posts or studs (like king studs or jack studs) are correctly specified.
