We have moved a load bearing wall less than 1 metre back in towards the middle of the house.
Is there a 'safe' distance to move this wall, or should we re-inforce with a steel beam in the ceiling?
Thanks,
Kathryn.
Hi Kathryn,
Please find information about load-bearing walls here: https://build.com.au/load-bearing-walls
It is difficult to give a definite answer to this question as circumstances vary from building to building; regulations may also vary in some states.
In the case of structural developments, we would always recommend consulting a construction professional - your builder or architect - for peace of mind.
All the Best
