We have recently bought a small house in Santiago de la Ribera, and we have decided that we would like to make it more 'open plan' by knocking down some walls. But we need some professional advice as to the identification of load-bearing walls as we don't want the house to fall down if we remove one. Is anyone able to recommend a Structural Engineer please?

We will also need a reliable plumber and electrician in the near future, who can preferably speak some English. Is anyone able to recommend anyone in or near Santiago de la Ribera?

Most houses and apparments dont have any load bearing walls in Spain they are built with pillars and the floors are floated reinforced Concrete

Hope this helps and saves you money, any responsible builder would explain this to you.
