You cannot modify Precast Construction, without a structural analysis. You can't simply remove a window & "fill it in and match the stucco". That's not how Precast works.

A simplified comparison might be "balloon construction". You can't remove a single piece of the structure, without affecting the entire structure. That's what Precast construction is. Every piece is part of the whole. Every inch of that structure is "load bearing".
Whatever.
