Tear down a wall. Who do you contact?
Hello,
I want to know which walls I can tear down in my house. Specifically which ones are load-bearing and which ones are not. What type of company should I contact to get this kind of help? Is it some form of structural engineer? I live in Halmstad if anyone knows someone nearby

A builder or architect is of course excellent, but a carpenter who has been around for a few years is just as good.
Yes, it is a structural engineer you need. SBR Byggingenjörerna has a search function for that: https://sbr.se/sok_specialist/ Design - Constructor - Building or Frame
Unlike a carpenter, they can also perform dimensioning of beams and columns, if you want to remove a load-bearing wall, which you can then submit with the building notification to the municipality.
