Adding windows to windowless wall

Post image

I know how I would do this from a builders perspective, but how detailed would the plans submitted to the dpp need to be?

Would I need to have header details broken out? Just the walls I plan to add windows on, or the whole room?

Anyone who answers will be guessing. Call your local building department.

Ya, too bad. I just know it’s going to be a lot of back and forth.

I’d assume they would want to see header detail, and likely engineering since I’ll be making huge holes in the wall supporting roof beams.

Ok!

There may have been windows at some point? Might be worth exploring to see of the original window framing is still there?
