Hi, I have worked on similar residential remodel projects where homeowners wanted to remove interior walls, fireplaces, or chimney-related framing, and the main focus was checking load-bearing conditions before demolition. I have also helped coordinate structural review for wall-removal projects, including beam/header requirements, ceiling/floor support, foundation load paths, and permit-ready notes for contractors. I'd love to share my experiences with you. Best regards, Epa
