Generally the RC wall are the ones forming the skeleton. The rest will be filled in later with bricks/AAC blocks.


Brickwalls sometimes even have airgap on the top so its not supporting anything useful.

Your developer should be able to advise which are RC and which are non RC in the layout plan.
Newer condos use RC structural wall for speed of construction.

This is important if you need to hack to add new power sockets/other pipe runs.

Old condos (low density) built like a double storey house on steroids/shoplot style usually just avoid the beams and columns only as majority brickwall.

- drilling in to hang fixtures
Small job for couple hundred bucks will be hard to get people to do. In terms of economic sense 90% of other jobs make more money so might as well get a rotary hammer and DIY.

- hacking to make way for additional power point wiring
depending on the scope. if just hacking out one more socket 3x3 next to existing one still can DIY.
chasing if short runs under 2m can DIY with rotary hammer + chisel. then need to get cement adhesive (susu) + cement mortar to fill the chase.
if full house runs better to do it with zero furniture as all these will create a lot of dust when drilling and chiseling and some grinder edits.

- fully demolish a wall to make way for bigger kitchen / room
proper demo hammer will do it fast (Hilti and up)
china machine take a bit longer but its just a wall, not those sewage concrete box or LRT track sections so still doable, but the china machine is waste of time for deep coring usage.

it should be ok but the only thing hacking off walls need time to do, so if you want to save on their removal labour you can try your hand at smashing the walls because it just need someone to operate (with proper PPE - face shield and mask of course)

From the plan n construction technique it may not be possible to delete the rc wall as it appear to be structural wall ie load bearing for the slab itself. And due to RC it doesnt stick like glue, if want to modify need to add supporting wall on the below ie new walls and u need to pour new slab for the whole back room again because concrete doesnt stick to old one.

As your walls are ALL RC, to drill wall plug holes, recommended to use a rotary hammer as impact drills meant for brickwalls will suffer like a kancil pulling a container (TEU)
