Hello All,
I have a newish bellway home about 3 years old.
It is 3 bedrooms and a loft room, a high span roof.
I want to alter a few bedrooms and bathroom around a bit, all the walls on 1st floor are non supporting walls.
What i am enquiring is, do engineers ever take into account studded walls when designing a house like this?
I know there is not much support there, but if i was to take down all these walls and was just left with exterior walls, some support has gone hasnt it?
if that makes sense...
comments please, before i get out my claw hammer and start ripping out...
