Structural Alteration Services for NYC Buildings
Structural work is the foundation of any major renovation. Whether you are opening up a floor plan, adding square footage, or converting a building, we bring the engineering expertise and construction skill to do it safely and legally.
Load-Bearing Wall Removals
Opening up floor plans by removing load-bearing walls is one of the most requested alterations in NYC. We install steel beams, LVL headers, or post-and-beam systems to safely transfer loads. Every removal includes PE-stamped structural drawings and DOB-approved plans.
Building Additions & Extensions
Rear extensions, side additions, second-story additions, and dormer installations that add usable square footage to your property. We handle zoning analysis, FAR calculations, structural engineering, and full DOB permit filing.
Floor Openings & Stair Installations
Creating floor openings for new staircases, dumbwaiters, or multi-level connections requires careful structural engineering. We cut and reinforce floor joists and install new structural framing to support the opening safely.
Building Use Conversions
Converting a building from one use to another — commercial to residential, single-family to multi-family, or cellar to habitable space — requires DOB alteration permits, updated certificates of occupancy, and often significant structural work. We manage the full process.
Structural Reinforcement
Strengthening foundations, reinforcing floor systems, adding structural steel, and repairing deteriorated structural elements. Essential for aging NYC buildings that need to support modern loads or meet current code requirements.
Facade Alterations
New window openings, door relocations, facade modifications, and storefront installations. Exterior alterations often require both DOB approval and, in historic districts, Landmarks Preservation Commission review.
