Load-bearing wall removal
What is load-bearing wall removal
Load-bearing wall removal involves taking down a structural wall that supports the weight of the floors, roof, or structure above it.Because this type of wall plays a critical role in the stability of a building, its removal must be carefully planned and supervised by a structural engineer.
The process typically includes:evaluating the existing structurecalculating loads and structural constraintsdesigning a replacement beam (steel, LVL, glulam, etc.)ensuring proper support and distribution of loadssupervising installation to meet building code requirements
Removing a load-bearing wall allows for the creation of open-concept spaces, such as opening a kitchen to the living room or expanding a main floor area—all while maintaining the safety and integrity of the building.
