S. Harris & Co. was hired by the building's owner to assess the structural feasibility of proposed alterations to an existing one-story building.  The alterations consist of substantial demolition of the roof and interior structural line.  An insignificant amount of unspecified members may be salvaged.  Since the renovation will result in a complete interior replacement, the remaining engineering issue was the structural capacity of the exterior walls to support the proposed renovation.  The proposed structure will have two stories; one story at existing grade level and one story at an intermediate level; and a new roof.  The firm assessed the existing structure and found that the program, as described to us, could be executed successfully.
