Before building permit is issued BS will ensure that member sized are adequate.[endquote] Not in our neck of the woods BE. A friend of mine who is an arborist changed his his flat roofed double garage to a pitched roof and beforehand went to our local council. The duty planner said as long as none of your neighbours objected he was fine with it and no DA needed. Another knocked out two internal load bearing walls to create an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge. The other local council said get an engineer to certify the beams to take the roof load and once again - no DA needed as it was internal work. Stewie Re: Roof support, want to remove some walls 20Nov 11, 2019 12:04 pm Hi Stewie I find it hard to believe but then nothing surprises me anymore The first example you give, was duty planner also a BS, qualified to give advice on structural matters of compliance or was he simply referring to planning matters(as I suspect) Then what if the new garage pitched roof wasn’t built properly And it collapsed or was blown off and children died? The second example also does not add up, removing two load bearing walls is a major and just certifying beam sizes(if indeed done) does not deal with possible loss of bracing and possibly undersized footing support, does not ensure that the work has been done properly and there is no insurance for damage or injury. How can this possibly comply with performance requirements of NCC that requires health, safety and amenity of the occupants?
