Load Bearing Wall Removal & Interior Alteration Permit – Toronto, ON
This Toronto interior alteration project involved the removal of a load-bearing wall to create a modern open-concept layout connecting the kitchen, living, and dining areas of an existing detached house.
The homeowners wanted a brighter and more functional main floor with improved flow between spaces while maintaining full structural safety and Ontario Building Code compliance.
Permit Man provided structural assessment, load-bearing wall evaluation, and permit drawings for the proposed wall removal, including the design of the required structural support system.
Our team coordinated the permit process with the City of Toronto and prepared a complete building permit package for the interior alteration work.
The project successfully transformed the existing compartmentalized layout into a spacious open-concept living area while preserving the structural integrity of the home.
