Opening and Roof Modifications
Making structural changes to a building—such as adding new windows, skylights, doors, or modifying the roofline—requires careful engineering to ensure that safety and stability are not compromised. At Norex Engineering, we provide expert design and analysis services for structural modifications, ensuring all changes are both visually impactful and structurally sound.
Our team evaluates how each modification affects the load path and redistributes structural forces. We design appropriate supports—such as beams, headers, posts, and reinforcements—to maintain the building’s integrity after changes are made. Whether you're removing a load-bearing wall, cutting in a larger opening, or altering roof geometry to improve space or aesthetics, we ensure the modified structure remains compliant with IRC, IBC, and local regulations.
Common services include:
New or enlarged window and door openings
Skylight and dormer additions
Roof pitch changes and parapet modifications
Load-bearing wall removal for open-concept layouts
We provide stamped engineering drawings and construction support to help contractors execute modifications safely and efficiently. With Norex Engineering, your design vision can be realized—without risking the structure that supports it.
