Hello,
I am about to tear down a couple of walls in our Elementhus from the '60s. However, I cannot figure out which walls are load-bearing and which are not. Does anyone know of a reliable structural engineer/consultant in the Stockholm area who could help me? I have searched online without much success.
Thanks in advance,
Anders

I don't know any structural engineers in Sthlm, but if you post a simple sketch, you might get some bites. There might be someone who has done what you want to do. As a rule, a load-bearing wall is situated in the middle of the house, parallel to the long sides. Walls from the outer wall to this load-bearing wall are usually not load-bearing. That's roughly what I've learned in the houses I've lived in.
Hello
Here comes a drawing. The ridge runs from left to right. The floorboards run in different directions in different rooms (probably because they are different modules from the start). Otherwise, I understand that floor joists usually run perpendicular to these.
Grateful for help
