FAQ
How do I know if my wall is actually load bearing?
If you are unsure, send me photos of the wall, the attic/framing direction above, and basement/crawlspace support below. I will review your photos and sketches to help determine if the wall is load bearing before we begin calculation work.
What beam material will you specify for my wall removal?
I calculate options based on your preference and space limits. I can specify Engineered Wood (LVL/Glulam), Steel I Beams (W-Shapes), or Flush Beams hidden in the ceiling. The final report will specify exact member dimensions and connection hardware.
Will these calculations be accepted by my contractor and building department?
Yes. All calculation reports are prepared using standard U.S. residential building code formulas (IRC/NDS/AISC). They provide the exact load bearing proof and framing callouts contractors and local plan reviewers need to verify safety.
