FAQ
What documents do I need to provide?
Please share your architectural plans or a dimensioned sketch showing the wall to be removed, its span, what sits directly above it (floors, masonry walls, or roof), and photos of the current space. The more details you share, the faster we can begin.
Can you help minimize the weight of the steel?
Yes. Optimization is a key focus of my design process. I use precise engineering math to ensure your beam is fully code-compliant and safe while selecting the most efficient, lightweight steel profile possible to avoid unnecessary material and installation costs.
5. What if Building Control asks a question?
I provide full support. If your local building control officer has a technical query regarding my calculations, I will provide the necessary clarifications at no extra cost.
