Quote for tearing down a wall.. am I missing something or does everything look good?

[Jockose]

We probably have slightly different views on authorities... My view is that if they don't add value to me, I bypass them In a case like this, I find it hard to see the value.

And if I were to come to your house during a possible sale, you would probably have a problem if I knew things were done without papers from the authorities...

The rules are there for both your and others' safety.

I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I tore down a load-bearing wall without controlled approval from the authorities, and then, for example, the roof suddenly collapsed on someone near and dear to me...
Even if I've been extremely meticulous with how the job was done, I can never be 100% sure it's done correctly.
Especially when we're talking about an old house from '59

But is it easier to live with it because a desk jockey at the municipality said okay to your job if it turns out to be an execution error? The error is likely to occur regardless of whether the municipality approved the action or not.

I can't say with 100% certainty how they work at the municipality when you submit a building notification.
But in my case, I have been informed that it is the building permit department that handles all notifications, and they, in turn, are engineers.
In my notification, as an example, I had to specify which type of beam would be used, dimensions and length, as well as what type of wall (materials in the wall and what is above it).
With all that information, they can themselves calculate that the load-bearing capacity of the beam and its support pillars are secured for the load that will occur.

I absolutely do not mean that one should bypass the dimensioning. The construction should be done properly, but I see no point in the contacts with the authorities.
And to be honest - a house from 59, or mine from 37, has been remodeled so many times that the drawings and authority papers have sprouted wings...

but to return to the question:
I think the quote looks reasonable!

The authorities may not add value for you in the short term, but in the long term, our country would not look as it does without our authorities and their control.

What risks happening to the price of a house when an investor checks renovations with the building permit department (which archives all documents, even those from -37) you can figure out for yourself...

My point is that you should weigh the pros and cons of your actions.

According to what I've been told, renovations that are 10 years old are something they can't do anything about. So everything is at least 10 years since it was done.
