Additions, Extensions & Renovations
Expanding or renovating a building involves more than just architectural planning—it requires expert structural engineering to ensure the new work integrates seamlessly with the existing structure. At Norex Engineering, we specialize in engineering support for residential and commercial additions, second-story expansions, garage conversions, and structural remodels.
Our process begins with a thorough review of the existing structure, including foundation capacity, load-bearing elements, and potential limitations. We then design structural components for the new addition that match or improve upon current systems, with a focus on safety, longevity, and code compliance.
Services include:
Load-bearing wall identification and removal planning
Second-floor additions and roof extensions
Foundation tie-in detailing
Framing layouts and header/beam sizing for new openings
Structural retrofits to bring older buildings up to current code
Construction documents and permitting support
We work closely with homeowners, builders, and architects to ensure that renovations not only look great but are built on a solid structural foundation. From minor layout changes to full-scale extensions, our engineering expertise helps your vision come to life—safely and efficiently.
