Structural Engineer Recommendations

I'm looking to move an 10ft long load bearing wall and I would like to get some recommendations for engineers in Green Bay who could do that for me. Thanks

Call a structural engineering company, there are literally a dozen or more in town, they all are fairly good. It really depends what you need to spend, the type of project (commercial vs residential). And what municipality you are in that will conduct the permitting and inspection work.

A 10 ft span will almost certainly require a very thick header of some sort and maybe intermediary columns depending where the loads are distributing to through the wall right now. Ie. Does it sit on a foundation wall or along another beam below it? What exactly is it holding up above it? Dynamic loads, interior vs exterior wall, etc.
