About this Gig
Planning an open concept kitchen? Understand whether the wall may support floor, roof or concentrated loads and what beam and support demands could result before demolition begins.

- Existing plan and photo review
- Floor and roof framing direction review
- Tributary load assessment
- Wall-function assessment

- Preliminary beam demand
- End and support reactions

This service is suitable for combining a kitchen with a dining room, living room or adjacent family space.

FAQ
Can you confirm whether the wall carries load?
I can provide a desktop assessment from the plans, framing information and photos you supply. Hidden framing or other concealed conditions may require local verification before construction begins.
What if I do not have the original house plans?
Clear measurements, attic or basement framing photos, ceiling-joist direction and photos from the floors above and below may support a preliminary screen. Missing information will be identified as a limitation
Does the Basic package include final beam sizing?
No. Basic screens one wall and identifies the likely gravity load path. Choose Standard for one detailed wall-removal load study or Premium for two related walls or a complex option comparison.
