The project idea
A homeowner wants to join a kitchen and dining room.
What the engineer considers
Review the wall’s role, the floors and walls above, and the available bearings. A beam or frame may be needed; its supports require checks too.
Potential deliverables
Existing and proposed layouts, beam or frame calculations, bearing details and structural drawings where agreed.
The next decision
The actual solution depends on the property and the information available. Share your plans so the scope, investigations and deliverables can be reviewed.
