Help with calculating a glulam beam

66x315 is considerably stiffer than 90x225, so there are no problems.
I was born and raised in Västergötland. Have been many times in Lidköping. Västergötland is a bit of Ursverige.

Okay, that's good
You write that I only need to have a glulam post next to the chimney on the long beam. Is no post needed in the outer wall? Granted, the roof truss is on the outer wall. And I'm planning to place my glulam beam on the roof truss on the outer wall, so maybe it's not needed then?
On the short one, you write that it is enough with one next to the chimney there as well. But that's because when I set up my wall with 95x45, the roof truss that goes over it will have support, which in turn will provide support for my beam that I will place. I assume this is what you mean. Just want to be completely sure and double-check to make sure I understand everything correctly
Okay, then I understand that you are familiar with the city

If there are studs in the right place in the outer wall, it might be sufficient. It depends a bit on their dimensions and bracing. You may need to insert a glulam post, which is best assessed on-site.
All beam ends need support from pillars or a substantial wall construction. Therefore, it's good to have a construction expert who can check this on-site.
The Planning and Building Act's Chapter 9 outlines what requires a building permit:
Section 2 A building permit is required for
1. new construction,
2. extension, and
3. any alteration of a building other than an extension, if the alteration means that
a) the building is wholly or partly used or furnished for a substantially different purpose than the one for which the building was most recently used or according to the most recently granted building permit has been adapted to without the intended use being realized,
b) an additional dwelling or an additional premise for trade, craftsmanship, or industry is furnished in the building, or
c) the building changes color, façade cladding, or roofing material, or the exterior appearance of the building is significantly affected in another way.
The first paragraph 3 c only applies if the building is located in an area covered by a detailed plan.
Further exceptions from the building permit requirement follow after this.

Okay, now I know! Thanks for all the help!!!
Regarding building permits, when I read on the Lidköping municipality's website, there is no text saying that I need to apply for a building permit to alter a load-bearing wall.

Now it is almost exactly two years since the last post, how did it go? Did you get a glue-laminated beam?
