Can you Knock Down Walls in a Condo?

Usually, you need permission from the condo board to knock down walls in a condo renovation. Because most walls are considered structural, there is usually an engineer that is required to guide the wall removal process.

There are also lots of ways to open up space without moving walls.

Sometimes colour and reorganizing interior elements can completely change the feel of a space. We have also found that flooring and kitchen renovations can really help to give you the desire you are looking for without moving walls.

Bedrock Construction can help. We have dealt with many of the condo boards in the city of Calgary, and if you need help let us know.
