To cakm yourself, 

1. knock with a small hammer on the walls in different points. Light walls will give you loud eco.Concrete walls will give you light eco and you will feel the hardness of the concrete

2. Take a light cordless drill with concrete drill and make few test drills. If it is concrete you will feel the resistance in depth of 3 mm. If it is light wall you will penetrate it easily. You can fix the hols with any putty.

That's not a way to check supporting walls. Merely checking cheese. ????

    Short of getting a certified engineer to take a look at the building's blueprints it's impossible to say, but my instincts suggest most walls in a high rise are just partition walls, all the weight is

  • Load bearing walls in high rise buildings? Normally they just have beams and you can take away every wall.

I don't possess a light cordless drill. Is it permissible to use a mains powered drill?

I have to admit I only used it one time in my life for a week or so when I was about 15 years old.

It was amazing how I could drill big holes in concrete with no pressure at all. At that time Hilti had their patent exclusively and no other machine was anywhere near that performance.

I was joking and yes it's a good piece of tool.
