I will calculate structural load bearing beam sizes and wall removal plans

Removing a load-bearing wall requires precise structural load engineering. To get a building permit and ensure your home stays safe, your local building department requires certified beam calculations and structural framing details. I specialize in designing safe, code-compliant header beams, columns, and load paths for residential remodeling.

Whether you need to specify a heavy-duty steel I-beam, an LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) header, or a parallel strand lumber beam, I provide the engineering metrics plan reviewers and contractors need.

What This Gig Offers:

• Load Calculations: Thorough analysis of dead loads (roof, ceiling, floors) and live loads resting on the target wall.
• Beam & Column Sizing: Precise specification of the exact beam depth, thickness, and material (Steel, LVL, or Dimensional Lumber).
• Load Path Continuity: Detail sheets ensuring weight transfers safely from the new beam down to the posts, studs, and existing foundation footings.
• Permit-Ready CAD Details: Clear framing connection details (hangers, bolting patterns, post caps) for building inspectors.
