I will load bearing wall removal beam header calculation and engineer letter for permit

Most wall removal calculators online are guesses, and a wrong guess is how contractors get red-tagged mid-demo.

Prescriptive header tables only cover a uniformly loaded wall carrying roof load, or roof plus one floor. The moment a girder or ridge beam frames into the opening from above, the table stops applying and an engineered calculation is required. Roof-only and floor-plus-roof walls need different beam sizes at the same span. Miss a point load, and the beam, the post, and the footing below it all change, and the permit comes back.

I'm a US based engineer who turns wall removal into a permit-ready fact: beam and header calculations sized to your exact span and framing, not a chart.

What's included:

• Load path and point loads confirmed, not assumed
• Beam/header sized per NDS and IRC/IBC
• Post and footing bearing checked
• Signed engineer's letter, permit-ready

Send a photo of the wall, a sketch or floor plan with measurements, and the address. I'll start the same day.
