Hello, I have experience with residential structural modifications involving load-bearing wall removal, LVL beam sizing, post locations, bearing conditions, and load-path coordination. I am a good fit because I can develop a practical beam and support solution for a 10–20 ft opening carrying the second floor. I will review the existing framing, span, tributary loads, foundation support, and available bearing points, then determine the required LVL size and post arrangement. I will also detail connections, temporary shoring requirements, and any foundation or footing upgrades needed below the new supports. The final design will be clear for installation and permit review, with licensed-engineer coordination available if stamped documents are required. Thanks for reading my proposal. Edwin

This job is about replacing a 10-20 foot load-bearing wall with LVLs to support the second floor, so I will design the LVL beam configuration, specifying the exact dimensions and connection details needed. I'll use AutoCAD for the structural drawings, detailing the beam size, any required headers, and the specific connection hardware. I'll build the design first, focusing on the LVL beam itself and its integration into the existing structure, because getting the structural support right is the priority. Also, the placement of the LVLs needs careful consideration to avoid disrupting other building elements. My track record on here: 5.0 across 10 reviews, 100% on time and 100% on budget. What is the existing ceiling height where the new LVL beam will be installed? Send the existing floor plans.

Hi, I can help develop the structural drawing and LVL beam layout for replacing your 10–20 ft load-bearing wall supporting the second floor. I can review the existing framing, determine the beam and support arrangement, and detail posts, bearing points, connections, and temporary support requirements while coordinating with applicable building-code requirements. I have several years of experience with U.S. residential structural drawings, wood framing, beams, and permit documentation. If a licensed engineer’s stamp is required, I can prepare the technical package for local professional review and sealing. Please share the existing floor plan, framing details, or photos so I can review the conditions and scope.
