Safely Removing Structural Walls in Ottawa

LOAD-BEARING WALL REMOVAL & DEMOLITION

Frequently Asked Questions

Load-bearing wall removal and demolition is the process of safely removing a wall that supports the weight of a building’s structure. These walls play a crucial role in the building’s stability, and their removal is carried out by careful planning and professional handling. In the process, temporary supports are fitted to hold the load, and new supporting structures, like beams, are typically added to transfer the weight and hold up the building so that it can stand. This is a service that is commonly applied in construction, like remodeling to make open-concept spaces or expanding floor plans.

Yes, in most cases, a permit is required. Here’s what you need to know:

  • General Rule: The Ontario Building Code mandates a permit for any construction or demolition work, including load-bearing wall demolition.
  • Demolition Permit: If your project involves removing parts of an existing structure, you’ll likely need a demolition permit.
  • Exceptions: Non-load-bearing partitions and certain buildings (such as silos and barns) may not require a permit.
  • Purpose of the Permit: Ensures safety and compliance with local regulations.
  • Penalties for Non-Compliance: Starting demolition without a permit can lead to fines, stop-work orders, and legal consequences.
  • Demolition Control By-law: Ottawa’s Demolition Control By-law (By-law No. 2012-377) may apply to specific properties.
  • Heritage Properties: If your property is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act or located in a heritage district, additional heritage approvals may be needed.
  • How to Obtain a Permit: Visit the City of Ottawa website for detailed requirements and application instructions.

Costs vary based on project size, complexity, materials involved, and location. Here’s a general estimate:

  • Smaller projects: Typically range from $4,000 to $10,000.

  • Larger projects: Costs can range into the tens of thousands.
