Glad to hear you'll be building the horns on the ground, after all. It really is the best way, for so many reasons, as you will see.
Romy, if your carpenter knows what he is doing, then I recommend you do not alert local building officials. They will have their own view of what you are doing, no matter what you tell them, and they may well require formal "plans" and "engineering", which will seriously increase your costs and add delays while you get it done to their satisfaction. Then they will add their own "fees" and inspection costs, and they don't work cheap. It can really add up in terms of time and money, not to mention the very real possibility that they'll throw you a "curveball" at some point.
Regarding the back-chambers, how about making "temporary" access holes? Maybe something like an attic scuttle, even if you can only get your head and shoulders up there while working off a ladder. You will be SO glad over time that you left yourself a way to adjust this as you develop the system as a whole, to work in the new space. Of course, it may even require re-tweaking when you bring in ULF, which I ass-u-me you will do, at some point.
Best regards,
