Hello! I would like to open up between the hall and the living room in our condominium from 1920. A wall about 160 cm where there is currently a door. I guess it is a wall built on planks and then covered with plaster (about 10 cm). The wall runs in the same direction as the joists (green arrow on the picture).
I have received a response from the association that it should not be load-bearing but they disclaim responsibility if there should be any settling and possible cracking at the seams in neighbors' apartments. What do you think about the load-bearing capacity of the wall? Any tips on a skilled contractor in Stockholm that could be hired?
Thank you in advance

Hello,
Have you found a designer? I am also looking for one for simpler jobs. Regards, //OLof

Unfortunately not..
Did you manage to get one in the end?
Yes, after some searching I spoke with two companies. One was a construction firm that would charge quite a lot to calculate the changes and the other was the construction firm that originally designed the house. The latter helped me for free over the phone on two occasions.Pattefnatee said:

I managed to find an engineer for a previous case in the neighboring association, and they solved it for free too, a bit of luck here as well
