Load-Bearing Wall, defined

Definition

A load-bearing wall carries weight from the structure above, such as floors, the roof or other walls, down to the foundations. Removing or altering one needs structural design to replace its support.

Before any wall is removed we confirm whether it is load-bearing and design the beam and supports needed to carry the load safely.
