How Do You Approach a Wall Removal Project?
It is important to understand that wall removal can be extremely dangerous for you and your property if not performed properly. There are several factors to consider before one can begin to de-construct a property or tear down walls during a remodeling project. One of the first things to determine about the wall in question is whether it is a partition wall or a load-bearing wall.

Partition walls can easily be knocked down without jeopardizing the structural integrity of the property. These walls are simply meant to separate one portion of the structure from another and serve no role in keeping the entire structure standing. Load-bearing walls, on the other hand, can prove to be extremely difficult to remove. Several precautions need to be taken before a load bearing wall removal project can begin.

Here are some important things to keep in mind when considering a wall removal project:

• One thing you should not do is go about the project on your own! Contact a fully licensed, professional contractor like Huxco Construction so they can provide a professional and expert evaluation of the project.
• The contractor will first determine whether the wall is load bearing or not. If it is not structural, or load bearing, then de-construction can begin immediately. If it is, then the contractor will bring in a structural engineer to devise a plan for how the project should progress.
• For load bearing wall removal, the structural engineer will propose a plan that will likely include the insertion of studs or bracing in adjacent walls or the temporary construction and use of metal or wood support beams. How you plan to use the space after the renovation will help determine how the engineer will go about spreading the load of the home.
• The contractor will also check if there is any electrical wiring or piping running through the wall that will be disturbed in the process of wall removal. If any electrical wiring or plumbing needs to be moved, this will need to be handled by a licensed electrician or plumber.
• Once the evaluation is complete, you must ensure that the engineer provides a certificate, which includes all the structural changes to be made. This must be comprehensive as the price of the entire wall removal project will hinge on this certificate.
