FAQs

  • How long does the process usually take from start to finish?

    The duration of the open floor plan process can vary significantly depending on several factors. These factors include the scope and complexity of the project, the size of your property, and any unforeseen issues that might arise during construction. On average, smaller projects can take a few weeks to complete, while larger, more complex projects can take several months.


    In the initial consultation phase, we will provide an estimated timeline for your specific project. This timeline will be updated regularly throughout the project to ensure you are kept informed of any changes. It is our commitment to complete every project in a timely manner without compromising on the quality of our work.


  • Is it possible to incorporate an open floor plan into an existing structure?

    Incorporating an open floor plan into an existing structure is entirely possible and is a common request we receive from clients. This process usually involves removing walls to create a more open and spacious living area. However, the feasibility of this depends on the layout and structural integrity of your property.


    Our team of professionals will carefully assess your property to determine the best approach to achieving an open floor plan. We consider all factors, including structural requirements, building codes, and your personal design preferences, to create a plan that meets your needs and expectations.


  • How do we handle structural elements like load-bearing walls in the design process?

    Handling structural elements such as load-bearing walls is a critical aspect of the open floor plan design process. Load-bearing walls are integral to the structure of a building, and their removal must be done carefully to maintain the property's stability. Our team includes experienced structural engineers who ensure the safe removal and replacement of these elements.


    If a load-bearing wall needs to be removed, we typically replace it with another structural element such as a beam or column. This ensures that the structural integrity of your property is maintained while also allowing for the creation of a more open and spacious living area. 


    Serving Norfolk and the surrounding areas in Virginia, Hawkins Enterprise is dedicated to delivering top-tier renovation and construction services tailored to each client's needs.

  • Will removing a load bearing wall affect the structural integrity of my property?

    Removing a load-bearing wall can potentially affect the structural integrity of your property if not done correctly. Load-bearing walls support the weight of the building above, so their removal requires careful planning and execution. At Hawkins Enterprise, we prioritize the safety and stability of your property above all else.


    We employ structural engineers who are experts in assessing and modifying building structures. They ensure that any modifications, including the removal of load-bearing walls, do not compromise the structural integrity of your property. Rest assured, any changes made will be in compliance with local building codes and regulations.
