Green Manor, Woodbridge – Exterior Wall Opening with Custom Steel Beam Support for a 12‑ft Patio Door

The Green Manor, Woodbridge project required a full structural and permitting package — from engineering design to implementation. Our team prepared the structural drawings, obtained the building permit, and executed the work with the precision required for creating a large opening in an exterior brick wall. The homeowners wanted to bring more natural light into the home and improve access to the backyard, which meant creating a new structural opening large enough to accommodate a 12‑ft patio door.

To achieve this safely, we cut a new opening in the exterior brick wall, carefully supported the brick façade above, and installed a custom‑fabricated steel beam supported by custom‑made steel posts resting directly on the concrete foundation. This system was engineered to carry the redistributed loads without compromising the integrity of the exterior wall. Once the structural work was complete and the new patio door was installed, we finished the project with professional brickwork restoration on the exterior and clean interior finishing on the inside, ensuring the new opening blended seamlessly with the existing home.

This project is a clear example of our integrated approach — structural design, permitting, and implementation all handled under one roof, with the level of detail and care homeowners expect when modifying an exterior wall. If you’re considering a large custom patio door, feel free to reach out. We can manage the entire process: design, permitting, structural components, supply and installation of a custom‑made door of any size, brickwork, and interior finishes. And if you need a new deck to complete the outdoor space, we can take care of that as well — ensuring everything is ready for your outdoor enjoyment and entertainment.
