Professional Engineer Recommendations
We are looking for recommendations of a Professional Engineer to evaluate, design, and issue a stamped plan for a new structural beam to replace an existing wall that we may remove. It is a fairly simple project...we plan to remove a load bearing wall and put up a structural beam. But we know the town will require an engineer analysis and we want to make sure the correct beam is selected based on loadings. An engineer locally that can work with a homeowner would be most desirable. Project location is in Moultonborough.

Since I think we will need a steel beam....due to length as well as height limitations, Middleton may not be interested as I suspect they may be only interestedin wood glulam type beams. Will stop in and check them later this week. Called Cohen based on prior response, but they do not do this anymore and had no recommendations. As a result, we are still looking for suggestions.

Still looking.....any other suggestions?

your contractor hopefully local? has a representative at Middleton Lumber that can spec out the beam. steel or laminate. my company has done two already this year using a steel beam most recent was 30' long. good luck

My company uses this engineering firm for structural calcs.
https://www.emanuelengineering.com/ Be advised however, that in my opinion, this is way overkill for what you need done and honestly what Sky says above is the way to go if possible. Good luck! Dan |
