Open-plan living is a structural project: identifying what the wall carries, designing the beam and padstones that replace it, and getting building control to certify the result.
- Load assessment of the wall
- Beam and padstone design with calculations
- Building regulations application and sign-off
- Contractor coordination for the works
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing? +
Joist direction, what sits above and the original construction all matter, and appearances mislead. A survey answers it definitively.
Do I need building regulations for removing a wall? +
For any structural wall, yes. The approval and completion certificate are part of our package.
