For openings less than 1000mm (1Meter) wide, the load is taken over by the top bond beam at the top of the wall. For bigger openings, our structural engineer would be available for further advise to suit your design need.
What kind of foundation is recommended?
Strip footing is recommended for the wall. With the use of strip footing it would be less expensive compared to the pad footing and beam system used for brick wall.

No, there is no need to plaster the internal wall. A 3mm thick skim coat is sufficient to produce a good quality wall finish.
For the external wall, a 10mm thick cement sand plaster is recommended.
