Beam for load bearing wall

Sam was very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease with the project he was undertaking. All my questions were answered. The job was done in a very reasonable time and was done very professionally. I would definitely recommend Open Concept Engineering.

Main floor structural walls removal and beam installation

We worked with Open Concept Engineering and Construction LTD on removing 3 structural walls during our home renovations.

We applied for construction permit from Town of Oakville, as were making big structural changes to the house. Sami and Glenn provided detailed drawings of the existing home structure and the proposed work. They also helped with the process. Permit was issued in just two weeks, which was remarkable and is unheard of.

Sami and Glenn were very professional, meticulous and detail oriented. All the work was completed within given timeline of 3/4 weeks, which included removal of structural walls, installation of beams and rerouting air vents. Town inspector was more than happy to see the quality of work done. Our vision came to life by opening up walls between living room, kitchen and dining room. We have our dream main floor now and also have peace of mind about the safety of the structure of the house.

Highly recommend Open Concept Engineering and Construction LTD!

Removal of load bearing wall

Sami and his team are true professional. He listened to my need when we first met and suggested a few options that gave me the flexibility and balance between cost and performance. Sami also consistently recommended what's "right" and in many cases ended up saving me money while achieving the result I wanted. We removed a load bearing wall on the main floor and needed it to be done within a very tight window. He pulled through with his team. They left the site clean and tidy and ready for the next phase of my project. Will definitely recommend to others.

Check cracks in basement ceiling beams, joists

Sami started by showing us his credentials - a bonafide engineer. He checked the beams, the floor levels, everything with his tools and ladder. While the minor bouncing may be annoying, he reassured us the structure is sound and no work is required. To remove the bounce he gave us DIY instructions. He was detailed and awesome. Thoroughly professional and highly recommended.

Air Duct "Hump" Removal

If you have Air Ducts in the Basement creating a "Hump" under a Beam and can't find anyone that is experienced or willing to get rid of it then PLEASE contact Open Concept Engineering. Sami has a straightforward approach to his quoting process. I found it helpful to share my entire wishlist and have him work through every detail and provide recommendations. Not only did Sami and Team get rid of the Hump in my basement they also provided before and after readings on the airflow and temperature improvements in a bedroom that was problematic. This is just one of many examples of Sami's attention to detail and ability to view the problem from a Homeowner's perspective and apply his engineering knowledge to help. My experience with Open Concept has been extremely positive and I am very happy with the end result.

Wall removal, structural reinforcement

I am a contractor specializing in the structural part of major renovations and have used Open Concept Engineering & Construction on several projects. We have found his solutions to different scenarios quite inventive and logistically friendly. What a "concept" to have an engineer with hands-on experience to suggest procedures that are feasible thereby, saving us and homeowners, time and money! We now use his services exclusively and will call him again soon.

Beam removal

Me and my wife wanted the drop beam removed and replaced with a flush beam to give our basement a more spacious feel. Originally, we didn't believe the column could be removed but boy we were wrong! We had a number of contractors visit our home to price out the project as per our vision. Open Concept was the only contractor to suggest removal of the column to really open up the space and improve the flow. The owner was very knowledgeable and the customer service was exceptional. My wife particularly loves the new space as she likes to do yoga and other aerobic activities while we are locked down due to COVID19. I would definitely hire Open Concept again and would recommend them to friends and family. They were punctual, friendly, and above all, tidy. Thanks Open Concept!
