Key considerations for Richmond Hill
Any wall removal requires confirmation of load-bearing status before design or work begins.
Load-bearing wall removal requires a structural engineer's drawings with beam sizing and post details.
A temporary shoring plan is often required by the municipality before work can proceed.
Opening in walls for larger windows or doors may trigger the same engineering and permit requirements.
Richmond Hill's Zoning By-law 113-00 governs setbacks, lot coverage, and height limits.
