Licensed Structural Engineering | Bay Area
Call (341) 221-1747Open Up Your Remodel With a Clear Structural Plan.
Removing a load-bearing wall means transferring its load to a new beam and carrying that load down to the foundation. We design the beam, the posts, and the load path, then document it so your remodel can be permitted and built with confidence.

The deliverables for this scope
Structural plans, calculations, and clear scope for Bay Area projects.
Beam and post design
A beam sized to the opening you want — engineered wood, steel flitch, or structural steel — with the posts and connections that support it.
Wall-removal calculations
Calculations establishing what the wall carries and how the replacement beam and load path handle those loads under code.
Permit coordination support
Stamped drawings prepared for your city's submittal, plus responses to building-department comments if any come back.
Engineering that keeps the project moving
Clear structural scope before construction
We define what the structure actually requires up front, so the work is priced and built against a defined scope instead of assumptions.
Drawings and calculations for permit submittal
You receive stamped structural drawings and supporting calculations prepared for submittal to your local building department.
Support for homeowners, architects, and contractors
We coordinate with whoever is on your team — or work directly with you if the project has no architect yet.
Familiarity with Bay Area projects
Our work is concentrated in Bay Area jurisdictions, from hillside lots and older housing stock to seismic requirements.

Or call (341) 221-1747Questions we hear most
What information do you need to quote a wall removal?
The property address, the wall's location and the opening width you want, the number of floors above, and photos of the wall and the space. A floor plan is helpful but not required to start.
Are the drawings and calculations ready for permit submittal?
Yes. You receive stamped structural drawings and calculations for the beam, posts, and load path, formatted for your building department. The city issues the permit; we support you through their review.
Do I need architectural plans before you start?
For a single wall removal, usually not — photos and dimensions are often enough. Larger remodels that move multiple walls are more efficient with an architectural plan in hand.
Which areas do you serve?
We work across the Bay Area, including Oakland, San Francisco, Concord, Berkeley, Alameda, Walnut Creek, Fremont, and San Jose. Availability depends on project scope and location.
How are site inspections scheduled?
We review your project details first. If the scope calls for an on-site visit to confirm framing or bearing conditions, we schedule it after that review.
