i think as long as walls are made of bricks, can support aircon compressor. external walls are brickwalls, internal walls then can be drywalls.
i was looking at some new warehouses (not in singapore) in a warehouse complex, that is under construction.
1) i noticed that the shared wall is only 1 brick width, so 2 warehouses sharing a brick. last time, shared wall is 2 brick thick, each warehouse has its own brick.
2) in addition, the rain gutter is also shared along the shared wall. last time, each warehouse has its own rain gutter.
up to owners of the warehouses to negotiate the cost of wall repair, rain gutter repair.
these are some of the cost saving (profit-maximising) measures by the developers.
