Countryside Beam Relocation Project

AggoPro Construction and Engineering: Structural Design Success Story

Executive Summary

AggoPro Construction and Engineering recently completed a critical structural report for beam relocation in a countryside property near Chicago, ensuring code-compliant vertical clearance, safety, and structural integrity. The project presented unique challenges, including tight deadlines and the need for minimal disruption to the property. Our team leveraged advanced structural engineering techniques and innovative solutions to deliver a seamless outcome, meeting all regulatory requirements and exceeding client expectations.

Client Background

Our client, a private homeowner in the countryside near Chicago, sought to renovate their property to include additional living space. The project required relocating structural beams to achieve the desired vertical clearance while maintaining the home's integrity. The client prioritized safety, compliance with local building codes, and minimal disruption during construction.

The Challenge

The initial situation involved outdated structural beams that did not meet current building codes, posing potential safety risks. Specific problems included limited vertical clearance and the need for precise calculations to ensure the new beams could support the existing structure. The business impact of any delays or errors would have resulted in increased costs and extended project timelines.

Our Approach

Our strategy involved a thorough structural inspection and detailed analysis of the existing framework. Key steps included:

Conducting a comprehensive structural engineer foundation inspection
Utilizing advanced software for precise load calculations
Collaborating with local authorities to ensure compliance with Chicago structural engineer standards

Implementation
