Technical Strategies for Open Concept Engineering

Building an open and airy living environment requires a data driven approach to load management and material selection:

Conducting High Precision Load Path Audits

We identify how weight is transferred from the roof and upper floors down to the foundation to determine the exact requirements for new support columns.

Selecting Industrial Grade Steel I Beams

For wide spans exceeding twenty feet we utilize custom engineered steel beams that offer superior strength to weight ratios compared to traditional wood headers.

Implementing Temporary Shoring Systems

Our Construction Professionals utilize heavy duty jack posts and temporary walls to support the structure during the critical phase of wall removal and beam installation.

Verifying Foundation Footing Capacity

We perform excavation checks to ensure that the soil and concrete footings can handle the concentrated point loads created by new structural posts.

Managing Architectural Continuity in Ceiling Planes

We utilize recessed beam pockets to ensure that the new structural support is hidden within the ceiling for a truly seamless transition between rooms.

Investing in professional Structural Engineering ensures that your home transformation is as durable as it is beautiful.
