We have a builder that inspected two walls that we wanted removed and he said that they will be fine since the trusses were flowing accross the house so we won't need a permit from the council. I.e no load bearing.
During the demo he noticed some extra beams coming off one of the walls so plans changed and he has left part of the wall standing with some double beam types across the top too hold any load (sorry for the lack of building terms)
I was wondering now if I go to the council (Waitakere) that they will make us replace what was already there. The work is currently unfinished.
Should we go to them now maybe so they can inspect?
Or should we carry on and apply for a certificate of acceptance once it is finished?
Any one have any suggestions?
