To help you understand, here are some details about our wall removal planning, preparation, and permits.
Assessment and Preparation for
Wall Removal
Before our team starts knocking out internal walls, our professional contractors will undertake a thorough inspection to determine whether or not the wall is load bearing. They will assess all visible structural components including beams, roof structure, floors, and columns.
Our contractors will also look for any electrical wiring, plumbing, or HVAC ducts that might be concealed within the wall. We’ll make sure to modify a wall that meets the structural strength and safety requirements of your home.
Planning Permission for Wall Removal
If you simply plan to make simple adjustments to your property, you won’t need planning permission.
However, if the wall is found to be load bearing, it is considered as a “structural alteration”. Then planning permission for wall removal is required. A building regulation inspector will request a structural engineers report to certify that the proposed renovation projects are safe and meet all building regulations.
You can hire one of our building regulation inspectors or appoint a Building Control Officer from your local council.
Wall Removal Building Permits
Before any construction work can be done, a building permit from your local government is generally needed. Especially when the anticipated project could:
- Affect the building structural condition and integrity
- Adversely affect the safety of the occupants or other residents of the building
If you need building permits and approvals for load bearing wall removals or modifications, Freo Wall Removal’s planning consultant will assist you in acquiring the required building permits for your wall project. On the other hand, if our team has confirmed that a wall conceals mechanical ducts, electrical wires, or plumbing pipes, you’ll need separate permits from certified technicians or plumbers to reroute them.
