I will calculate load bearing wall removal and size replacement beams
About this Gig
Planning an open-concept layout by removing a load-bearing wall? I provide accurate structural beam sizing calculations and framing layout details tailored to US building codes (IRC/IBC).
Whether you are replacing an interior wall with an LVL, glulam, or steel beam, I deliver clear engineering calculation sets ready for contractor reference and permit review.
What Can Be Included:
- Load Calculations: Gravity, ceiling, roof, and floor load analysis acting on the opening.
- Beam Sizing & Selection: Sizing for LVL, Glulam, PSL, or Steel I-beams (W-shapes).
- Support Column & Post Sizing: Sizing end posts, double studs, or steel columns.
- Point Load Tracing: Verification of load path to footings below.
- Framing Details: Connection details (beam-to-post, hangers, bearing length).
What I Need to Get Started:
- Length of wall being removed and ceiling height.
- Photos of the wall, attic, or basement/crawlspace above and below.
- Floor above info (attic only, second story, or roof load).
Note: All deliverables consist of unstamped structural calculation reports and drafting details ready for permit submission or local engineering review.

FAQ
What beam materials do you calculate?
I calculate Engineered Lumber (LVL, Glulam, Microllam, LSL), Dimensional Lumber headers, Steel I-Beams (W-Shapes), and Flitch Beams (wood/steel sandwich beams).
Will this calculation report satisfy my general contractor or city plan check?
Yes. The calculation report clearly demonstrates IRC/IBC structural code compliance, load path distribution, and beam/post deflection checks required for building review.
What beam materials do you calculate?
I size engineered wood beams (LVL, Glulam, PSL), dimensional lumber headers, and structural steel beams (W-beams / I-beams) based on your spans and loads.
