I will design structural footing and foundation details for wall removal
David
About this gig
When you replace a structural wall with a beam, the weight shifts from an entire wall down to two concentrated endpoints (posts). If your floor, slab, or basement foundation isn't reinforced to handle these heavy point loads, your floor can sag, crack, or structurally fail. Local city building departments and inspectors almost always require explicit footing and foundation details before issuing a permit.
What I Provide in This Gig:
Structural Footing Details: Clear, professional 2D CAD cross-section details showing concrete depth, width, and rebar reinforcement layout.
Point Load Verification: Clear sizing recommendations for concrete pads based on your estimated structural loads.
Existing Slab Details: Specifications for cutting and pouring new interior footings into existing basement or crawlspace slabs.
Post-to-Footing Connections: Hardware recommendations (such as Simpson Strong-Tie bases) to securely anchor your structural posts.
Why Choose My Services?
Designed directly to support your framing and open-concept renovation layouts.
Permit-focused formatting to help you pass city planning and structural reviews.

FAQ
Why do I need a separate footing detail for a wall removal?
When you take out a continuous wall, the weight of your house is concentrated onto two small posts on either end of the new beam. Standard concrete floors are only a few inches thick and will crack under this intense "point load." A footing detail shows your contractor exactly how deep and wide the
Will these plans help me get a city building permit?
Yes. City inspectors and building departments look specifically for a "point load path." By presenting these foundation details alongside your framing layout plans, you provide the complete technical package that plan reviewers look for.
Can you design footings for both crawlspaces and basements?
Yes. I design interior footing details for existing basement concrete slabs (where the slab must be cut and repoured) as well as localized pier footings for open crawlspaces. Please message me before ordering to confirm your specific subfloor setup
