Hi, I have worked on similar residential remodel projects where homeowners wanted to remove interior walls, fireplaces, or chimney-related framing, and the main focus was checking load-bearing conditions before demolition. I have also helped coordinate structural review for wall-removal projects, including beam/header requirements, ceiling/floor support, foundation load paths, and permit-ready notes for contractors. I'd love to share my experiences with you. Best regards, Epa

Do you have the existing floor plans and structural drawings? Are there any photos or a site visit available to confirm framing, chimney connections, and finishes? Hi — I’m Jann, a licensed structural engineer with extensive experience in residential remodels and fireplace/chimney removals. I have successfully designed permanent wall removals, lintel and beam supports, and full chimney decommissioning plans for single-family homes, ensuring structural integrity and code compliance. My scope includes structural assessment, load calculations, design of new supports (beams/headers/columns), connection details, and preparation of permit-ready drawings and calculations. I coordinate with architects and contractors to minimize disruption, specify temporary shoring, and outline safe demolition sequences. I’m familiar with local building codes and can prepare documentation to obtain permits and pass inspections. I can also advise on finishing repairs, floor and ceiling tie-ins, and any necessary HVAC or masonry contractor coordination
