Professional Structural Wall Removal by Experienced Builders
Removing a wall is not just a demolition task. Many internal walls support roof loads, upper floors or structural framing. Incorrect removal can lead to cracking, sagging or serious structural issues.
​
Our approach focuses on:
​
-
Correct identification of load-bearing walls
-
Proper temporary propping during works
-
Engineered structural solutions
-
Fully compliant installation and finishing
This ensures your renovation is safe, durable and future-proof.
What Is Considered a Structural or Load-Bearing Wall?
A structural (load-bearing) wall is one that carries loads from:
​
-
Roof framing
-
Upper floors
-
Beams or trusses
-
Adjacent structural elements
These walls are commonly found:
​
-
Between kitchen and living areas
-
Along central spine walls
-
Supporting first-floor additions
We assess each wall carefully before any work begins.

Assessment of existing wall structure

All works are carried out in accordance with relevant Australian Standards and building requirements.
Engineering & Structural Compliance
Many wall removals require engineering services input to ensure loads are transferred correctly. Where required, we coordinate structural engineering to determine:
​
-
Beam sizing and specifications
-
Load paths and support points
-
Connection details
​
This documentation ensures the work is compliant and suitable for certification, resale and insurance purposes.
Open-Plan Renovations Done Properly
Structural wall removal is often part of a larger renovation, such as:
​
-
Living area reconfigurations
-
Ground floor extensions
-
First-floor additions
Because we are renovation-focused builders, we understand how structural changes integrate with the rest of the home, resulting in a cohesive and practical outcome—not an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a wall is load-bearing?
Most homeowners cannot tell without proper assessment. We inspect roof and floor framing to determine whether a wall is structural.
​
Do I need council approval to remove a wall?
Many internal wall removals do not require council approval, but structural changes may require engineering and certification. We guide you through the correct process.
​
Can you remove part of a wall instead of the entire wall?
Yes. Partial removals, widened openings and feature beams can often be designed to suit your layout.
​
What type of beams are typically used?
Depending on the loads and span, beams may be steel or engineered timber (LVL), as specified by engineering requirements.
