I will check balcony framing capacity for added live loads

Adding planters, furniture, storage or other weight to a balcony? Get its framing demand, deflection and remaining capacity assessed from the records you provide.

I provide a calculation-focused desktop capacity check using client-supplied framing records, dimensions, proposed loads and condition photographs.

My service can include:

• Existing joist and beam information review
• Current dead and live load calculations
• Added-item weight and footprint distribution
• Bending, shear and deflection checks
• Member demand to capacity results
• Support and reaction review
• Connection-demand review where data allows
• Comparison of added-load locations
• Assumptions, limitations and concerns to verify

This service is suitable for residential balconies receiving planters, furniture, storage, equipment or other defined loads.

Send framing dimensions, materials, spans, spacing, supports, connection information, proposed item weights and footprints, project city/state, available records and clear photographs.
