FAQ
What information do I need to provide to get started?
I need basic room dimensions, floor-to-floor heights, photos of the wall to be removed, and photos or drawings showing what is above (attic/roof framing) and below (basement/crawlspace) the wall.
Will these drawings pass city building permit review?
Yes. All plans and calculations are drafted to meet International Residential Code (IRC) standards, providing the exact structural details city plan checkers require.
Can you design a hidden flush beam inside the ceiling joists?
Yes. I can size and specify a flush beam system hidden inside the ceiling framing so you get a completely flat, uninterrupted open concept ceiling.
Do you calculate both wood LVL and steel beams?
Yes. I evaluate your span and clearance constraints to determine whether a engineered wood (LVL/Glulam) or steel I-beam is the most cost-effective solution for your jobsite.
What happens if the city building inspector requests minor revisions?
My packages include post delivery support to address minor drafting adjustments or structural notes requested during your local building department review.
