This is Larry, ✌✌ a licensed Structural Engineer in Georgia states ✌✌ with direct experience preparing LVL beam sizing calculations, load-bearing wall modification details, and sealed residential structural plans that meet both regulatory requirements and project deadlines. In my opinion, a 20+ foot opening requires a full load path evaluation—roof and floor tributary areas, live and dead loads per Georgia-adopted IBC/IRC, proper bearing lengths, and column or post sizing. Deflection control and connection detailing will be carefully addressed to avoid sagging or cracking over time, while finish details can preserve a traditional aesthetic with concealed supports or trimmed beam wraps. This project is very similar to residential wall removals I’ve engineered to create open floor plans. I’ve delivered LVL designs with detailed calculations and framing sections for permit approval. The most critical skill here is accurate beam load analysis—ensuring proper sizing, bearing, and lateral stability. ✅ Major steps: 1️⃣ Review existing framing 2️⃣ Load calculations and LVL sizing 3️⃣ Connection and bearing detailing 4️⃣ Permit-ready drawings and calculations To begin, I’ll need: floor plans, wall location, span length, number of stories supported, and roof/framing direction. Best regards. Larry.
