Markham Building Permit & Structural Engineering FAQs
Do I need a building permit in Markham to remove a load-bearing wall?
Usually yes — if you’re changing structural framing, Markham typically requires a permit and engineered drawings. The city wants to see beam sizing, post locations, and how the load transfers down to support.
How can I tell if my wall is structural before I start demolition?
Quick signs include joists running into the wall, posts or beams below it, or the wall lining up with a main floor division. The safest approach is an on-site framing review — it prevents surprises mid-project.
For a Markham home addition, what does a structural engineer design?
We design the parts that carry loads: foundations and footings, floor framing, roof framing, beams/posts, and connection details so the new structure ties into the existing home properly.
Are decks and porch roofs in Markham required to be engineered?
Many elevated decks, larger spans, and covered porch structures need clear footing and framing details to meet code. If the deck attaches to the house, connection details become especially important.
What if Markham requests revisions after I apply?
That’s normal. If the reviewer asks for clarification (like a detail, note, or load path explanation), we update the drawing set and respond with clean, easy-to-review revisions.
