Is it possible to tell if this is a load-bearing wall from the drawing?

Hello,

two-story townhouse from '74. The wall in red should be removed.
Can it be determined with some certainty if it is load-bearing from the blueprint?

The roof trusses run from north to south!

And what kind of trusses are they?

Probably W-truss

If you only know what it probably is, then you can't determine with any certainty if the wall is load-bearing.

If neither you nor any of the neighbors have any technical drawings and/or descriptions, then ask the municipality.

Probably a W-truss

No, it wasn't that at all. Sorry! At the top is an unheated loft that is completely open without W. Does that give you anything? 🙈

It's impossible to know for sure without an on-site visit, but the wall is probably not load-bearing. To know for certain, you need a structural engineer.

You can't be completely sure without visiting the site, but the wall is probably not load-bearing. To know for certain, you need a structural engineer.

I've put out a request for quotes in a few different places, but no one has responded! Do you have any tips on whom I should target to get the job done? I mean, what skills are required as a craftsman?

 

[BirgitS]

Not a craftsman but a structural engineer who has specific training in structural mechanics, etc. Check if you can find someone via www.sbr.se.

Not a craftsman but a structural engineer who has an education in strength theory etc. See if you can find someone via www.sbr.se.

Thank you so much for the tip!!

I am a civil engineer specializing in building construction (structural engineer in other words). PM me
Photograph the attic so I can see how it looks.

Ok, where do you have east on the plans?
