I have been asked to knock an opening in a wall to make two separate rooms into one by
putting some french doors in and bricking up the old doorway. The customer has informed the council and has the go ahead for the doorway. I know a building inspector will come and sign the work off, but I am not sure about if he is going to want to see some calculations
for the beam/lintel if it was 3mrs long then obviously I would need some calculations
but this is only going to be 1400mm wide. I think the question I am asking is there a cut off point were an opening becomes a must for a structural engineer to be required.
Thanks
