Post & Beam Installations
Replacing obstructive interior walls and posts with engineered steel I-beams for modern open-concept basements.
Older GTA homes — heritage detached houses, post-war bungalows, and narrow townhouses alike — carry their upper floors on chopped-up basement walls and rusted adjustable teleposts. Removing them is what makes a lowered basement feel like real living space rather than a warren of small rooms.
Every beam we install is sized by a structural engineer for the actual tributary load above. We shore the structure temporarily, transfer the load onto new steel and properly footed posts, and provide the stamped drawings and inspection sign-offs the City requires.
How We Help
- Engineered structural steel I-beam sizing and installation
- Adjustable telepost replacement and structural weight redistribution
- Creates open-concept floor plans in older GTA home layouts
- Safe, temporary shoring during beam load transfers
