I will design load bearing wall removal plans and structural calculations
About this Gig
Transforming a floor plan into an open-concept space requires precise structural engineering, clear load-path verification, and code-compliant framing. A single undersized LVL or miscalculated point load leads to floor sag, drywall cracking, or immediate city permit rejection.
As a civil and structural engineer, I deliver exact structural calculations, beam sizing, and clear framing plans tailored to your homehandling single-story roof loads, two-story floor loads, or roof truss systems.
What You Get
- Beam Sizing: LVL, glulam, or W-shape steel beams matched to your span.
- Point Load & Posts: Wood post/steel tube sizing and load transfer to footings.
- Load Path Analysis: Joist spans, rafters, headers, and plate specs verified.
- Permit CAD Drawings: Structural layout showing removed wall, temporary shoring notes, beam placement, and Simpson/USP ties.
- Engineering Report: Formatted calculation PDF for city permits and contractors.

FAQ
Q: What information do I need to provide to get started?
A: Clear photos of the wall, photos of the framing above (attic/floor joists) and below (basement/crawlspace), wall height, overall opening width, and any architectural sketches or rough dimensions you have.
Q: Can you help me determine if a wall is actually load bearing?
A: Yes. By reviewing wall orientation relative to joists/rafters, attic access photos, and multi-story floor layouts, I can confirm load-bearing status before finalizing structural designs.
Q: Will this structural calculation package work for a city permit?
A: Yes. The calculation report and structural drawings specify exact framing members, connection details, and load paths, which are standard requirements for municipal building permit approval.
Q: Do you calculate for both steel beams and engineered lumber (LVL)?
A: Absolutely. I calculate both LVL headers and structural steel I-beams (W-shapes), helping you pick the option that minimizes ceiling drop or fits your budget.
