You notice the owner has installed a divider wall between the kitchen and dining room. You measure it and find it is 4½ feet tall. You handle this situation by asking to see the documents that indicate the wall was approved by an engineer. Any type of divider or retaining wall that is 4 feet tall or higher requires engineer approval. If the owner does not have the paperwork, you need to let the client know the divider wall needs to be removed or an engineer needs to approve it.
