jerm, check with the management, which wall is load bearing wall and non load bearing wall.
Only non load bearing wall can be removed. Fyi, non load bearing wall can be r.c. too.

where did u get the plan layout? i don't see any column there, and this would indicate that the whole building are using shear wall system which means, no hacking. Unless, the wall involved are brickwall. Anyhow, better get a pro to decide for u

Some non loading wall also build by concrete, not necessary to be brick wall.

Possible, still need to have a proper engineer to look at it. Normal contractor will not know what is what. Especially dealing with high rise building.

By just looking at the wall, engineer can't tell either. They need to know what is the reinforcement inside the wall, then only can judge.

as stated above, the developer does not have the blueprints for the units already, not sure if that's just laziness ontheir part not looking into it, so i wont get much help from there

Try check who is the structure engineer, then check with them see they have as build or construction drawing or not.

My meaning of "look" does not only apply to visual,  is inspect and check.

I see. They either need to use a scanner to scan the bars out or core the wall to see the rebar detail (not recommend this).
