Clear beam and support answers for home remodeling

I help homeowners, remodelers, and contractors make confident framing decisions for wall removals and new openings. My focus is beam and header sizing, open-concept kitchen loads, and post and footing...
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.


I provide a desktop load-path assessment for kitchen, dining and living-area wall changes using client-supplied plans, dimensions and photos.


My service can include:

  • Existing plan and photo review
  • Floor and roof framing direction review
  • Tributary load assessment
  • Wall-function assessment
  • Gravity load-path tracing
  • Preliminary beam demand
  • End and support reactions
  • Support-below review
  • Assumptions, constraints and next steps


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


Send existing and proposed layouts, desired opening, framing spans and direction, story count, roof configuration, project city/state and photos from both sides and the levels above and below
