Bring this to the discussion
Dimensioned drawing, position, photographs and structural information.
Questions about the work
Can an opening be made anywhere in a concrete floor?
No. The floor's function and the position of reinforcement and services need assessment. An engineer can advise on suitable alterations.
The design situations here illustrate choices; they are not completed projects or a diagnosis of your property.
