Designing open, light-filled spaces within Montreal’s architectural heritage.

Structural modification ​

Do you dream of a living space that breathes, flooded with natural light? This is often why structural modifications are considered. This could mean enlarging an existing window or installing a large patio door to open your interior to the outdoors, or adding an extension.

Perhaps your needs are changing and your current staircase no longer meets your expectations. Modifying, moving, or even creating a new staircase becomes essential, especially when converting a duplex into a single-family home to streamline traffic flow.

Are you short on space? Whether it’s a horizontal extension or adding a level (vertical extension) to your plex or condo’s rooftop, to enjoy a breathtaking view, we can help. Or perhaps you’d like to install a spa on your deck, which requires a reinforced structure.

Do you have questions? That’s normal. We answer them here.

What is meant by "structural modification"?

Structural modification refers to any intervention that affects the load-bearing elements of a building (walls, floors, beams, columns).

Any structural modification must be planned and supervised by a structural engineer. Their expertise is essential to ensure the stability of the building, ensure compliance with the Building Code, and prevent any risk of collapse or long-term damage.

Yes. Generally, structural alterations are considered major work and require a permit from the City. This permit must be supported by detailed plans and calculations signed by a structural engineer.
