Hello,

Considering the presence of cracks in the walls of your under-construction first floor, it's advisable to pause the construction and seek an inspection by a qualified structural engineer.

This professional assessment will help identify the root cause of the cracks and provide recommendations for necessary remedial measures. Prioritizing structural integrity is crucial for the long-term stability of your construction.

Let us know if you need help woth assessment.

Best regards,

Nitin

Warlike Tiger, Good Morning. Whats your dilemma. Is it the budget, design plan or availability of a professional to do it? Either of that would require a site study, without that it is not possible to estimate the plans or costs or even a realistic design plan. If you are keen , you can search for professionals in this forum and contact them or leave your number for interested architects to call you. However, this idea of building the second story and then breaking the lower floor walls is not feasible. It is a hilly area and you should be all the more cautious with the foundation. Hope this helps! Amit CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

Hello Manu, If its under construction, then please make the furniture layout along with the window positions. Just taking care of the cross ventilation and not planning the furniture might create restrictions.
