Opinion Needed ASAP

Hello everyone,

We bought this house, and we're living in it and renovating it. Every project is turning into a nightmare. I'm not sure if the contractors are trained to exacerbate every single problem or not.

We recently discovered asbestos in the compound joint. We abated the walls, and that added $10,000 to our costs. The contractor that we have been working with for a while came to take a look at the walls with the structural engineers, and they told us we have to change the structure of the entire kitchen wall. They said we have to build new walls because the old walls are directly on the concrete, and this is not allowed. On top of that, the water pipes are on the ground, which is not allowed; they should be run inside the walls. The current way the studs are built is not up to code, so they have to rebuild the entire structure of the kitchen wall

I would get a 2nd opinion to verify. Not saying what they are saying is wrong but there might be a simpler solution.
