Before you even think about picking up a sledgehammer, it's crucial to determine if the wall you want to remove is actually load-bearing. These walls are integral to the structural integrity of your house, supporting the weight of the floors and roof above. Removing one without proper planning can have disastrous consequences. We have an engineer who can look over the job carefully. Our team can provide the assessment to look at the construction and give advise on which way to proceed.
Rokk Demolition & Salvage Ltd works closely with qualified structural engineers who will conduct a thorough assessment. They'll consider your existing plans or help you create new ones, calculate the loads being supported, and design the necessary structural support to replace the wall. This might involve installing beams, columns, or other reinforcement.
