Morden, Oakville – Basement Structural Wall Removal for Apartment Conversion

The Morden basement project involved preparing the engineering plans for a future basement apartment, removing a structural wall, and installing a new steel beam supported by a steel post and concrete footing. The existing load‑bearing wall separated a narrow corridor from an underused secondary space. By removing it, the combined area became significantly larger and far more suitable for a basement apartment layout.

Structural Work

Our engineering team designed the structural solution, and our installation crew executed it efficiently. The work included:

• Removal of the existing load‑bearing wall
• Installation of a steel beam sized for the new apartment layout
• A steel post and footing to transfer loads safely to the foundation

This created a clean, open structural span that supports a functional and code‑compliant basement apartment design.

Final Result

With the structural wall removed and the new beam in place, the basement gained a much more practical footprint. The homeowners now have a solid structural foundation for converting the space into a comfortable, well‑planned apartment.

If you’re planning a basement apartment conversion, steel beam replacement, or need guidance on meeting ceiling‑height requirements, we’d be happy to help. We build full basement apartments, including separate entrances, egress windows, and complete new builds, and we complete structural projects and full renovations across Oakville and the GTA with engineered solutions built to last.
