hi all knowledgeable..
I have a question. It is like this, I want to remove part of a wall that is load-bearing, the wall is between the kitchen and living room, the wall is about 15 cm thick, 2.4 m high, and 4.2 m long, the section I want to remove is in the middle of the wall and is 2 m wide. The apartment is on the first floor of 3. Is it possible to do this and how do I proceed? And which tools should I use then??
Best regards, c.antonio

If you want to remove a portion of a load-bearing wall, you need to apply for a building permit. Talk to a building permit officer at the municipality, and they will help you with what to do and what drawings you need to submit.
From a construction technical perspective, I don't dare help you, but I assume you would install a beam or something similar to maintain the load-bearing capacity.

You do not need a building permit but you must make a building notification.
