About this Gig

Cutting into a load-bearing wall without proper structural calculations can lead to sagging floors, cracked drywall, failed inspections, or worse a safety hazard. I provide accurate beam sizing calculations so your wall removal is safe, code-compliant, and ready for permit approval.

What I'll calculate for you:

  • Tributary load area and total load on the wall (dead load + live load)
  • Point loads transferred from floors/roof above
  • Beam sizing LVL, steel (W-shape), or glulam options with span tables
  • Header size and bearing point/post requirements
  • Deflection checks (L/360, L/240 per application)
  • Foundation/footing load transfer notes (on request)

Why work with me:

 Based on IBC/IRC and ASCE 7 load standards Fast turnaround (as little as 2448 hrs) Clear documentation contractors and permit offices can actually use Direct communication I'll ask the right questions so nothing gets missed
