FAQ
How do I know if my wall is load bearing?
Send the floor plan, photos and basic dimensions. I can review the available information and advise what structural information is needed for the assessment.
Can you design an LVL beam?
Yes, where the project information supports an LVL solution, I can perform the required beam sizing and calculations.
Can you design a steel beam instead?
Yes. Steel beam options can be evaluated when appropriate for the span, loading, support conditions and project requirements.
I only have photos. Can you help?
Yes. Send the photos first. I can tell you what additional measurements or drawings are needed.
Can you provide drawings?
Yes, depending on the package selected, structural layouts and calculation documentation can be included.
Can I use your drawings for a building permit?
This depends on the jurisdiction and project requirements. If a locally licensed or sealing engineer is required, please contact me before ordering.
Do I need to know the beam size before ordering?
No. That is part of the engineering assessment. Provide the available project information and I will determine what calculations are required.
