Hello! We want to open a doorway in the wall between the living room and the bedroom. Asked the chairman of the housing association if it was okay and got the response that someone “knowledgeable in construction” should certify that the wall is not load-bearing.
I had expected the housing association to be able to make that assessment. It is a plaster wall with studs. Have asked for a drawing but have not received anything yet.
How would you proceed in my situation? What does knowledgeable in construction mean?
Best regards, Olov

I don't see it as anything strange that you need to do this.
We have the same; whoever wants to renovate must produce/pay for everything needed.
Your neighbors should not pay for what you are going to do, just as you don't want to pay for their renovations.
If someone else wants to do the same thing, you can sell your certificate, since you have paid for it.
