I will design load bearing wall removal structural drawings and lvl beam calculation
Structural Design Specialist Permit Ready Framing and Calculations
About this Gig
Removing a load bearing wall without engineered beam sizing risks ceiling sag, costly city permit rejections, and structural failure. I provide precise, code compliant load bearing wall removal structural drawings and LVL beam calculations so you can create your open concept space safely.
Whether you need to remove a interior wall or widen an opening, you get complete technical data for smooth contractor execution and building department review.
What You Get:
- Accurate structural drawings & framing layouts (PDF/DWG)
- LVL beam calculation and timber header sizing
- Support post layout & point load distribution checks
- Construction details for temporary shoring and beam connections
- Clear structural calculation report ready for city permit submission
Every structural framing design is tailored to your span, floor loads, and roof configurations. Don't risk structural sag or permit delays with unverified guessesget professional wall removal plans calculated right the first time.

FAQ
How do I know if my wall is load bearing?
If the wall runs perpendicular to floor joists, supports a second floor, or sits directly above a foundation wall/beam, it is likely load bearing. My structural analysis verifies this using your photos and framing direction.
Will these structural drawings be enough for a city permit application?
Yes. I provide clear structural framing plans and a detailed structural calculation report detailing LVL beam sizing, post connections, and load paths designed to meet standard building code requirements.
What is the difference between an LVL beam and a Steel I-Beam for wall removal?
An LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) beam is cost effective, easy for contractors to handle, and fits hidden inside ceiling joists. Steel I beams are used for extreme spans where depth is restricted. I calculate the best material for your space.
Do you provide stamped structural engineer drawings?
I provide technical structural drawings and beam sizing calculations. If your local building department strictly requires a local PE/SE physical wet stamp, you can submit my calculations to a local engineer for quick review and stamping at a fraction of the cost.
What details are included in the beam sizing calculation report?
The report includes dead/live load assumptions, bending moment checks, shear capacity, deflection limits (L/360 or L/480), and point-load reactions for post supports.
Can you design a flush beam installation so my ceiling stays completely flat?
Yes. I include connection details (such as joist hangers to beam) so your contractor can mount the replacement beam flush inside the ceiling rather than dropping it below the ceiling line.
