Structural openings

What we can do for you:

In residential construction, a structural opening is a void or gap in a load-bearing wall, floor, or roof that allows for doors, windows, or any other access point. As Structural Engineers, we will assess the specific requirements for the opening, considering factors such as the type and load of the structure, design aesthetics, and building regulations. We will calculate the necessary support mechanisms, such as lintels, beams, or columns, to ensure that the opening does not compromise the overall stability and safety of the structure. Additionally, we can provide detailed drawings and specifications for proper construction and collaborate with architects and contractors.
