Project Description: The homeowner wanted to increase space and functionality as part of a home renovation project. This involved removing or creating openings in certain walls and adding a dormer in the attic. It was crucial to determine which walls were load-bearing and design a stable system for the dormer. Rigorous calculations were conducted to ensure that the proposed modifications, including verifying the capacity of the existing floor to support the dormer, would not compromise the building's structural integrity. This meticulous approach ensured a safe and functional outcome for the homeowner.
