The price depends on the structural solution, access and the agreed finish. Request an itemised quotation for your own home rather than comparing an unexplained price per metre.
What goes into the price?
| Component | What to discuss | Check the scope |
|---|---|---|
| Structural calculations | Existing structure, load paths and the proposed design. | Identify site visits, investigation and design changes. |
| Structural drawings | Plans, sections and connection details. | Agree the revisions and execution details included. |
| Steel and installation | Beams, frames, bearings and connections. | Include transport, access and handling equipment. |
| Temporary support | Preparation and support to the execution plan. | The arrangement and duration depend on the building. |
| Permissions | Municipal fees and any application assistance. | Check actual fees and adviser scope separately. |
| Removal and waste | The agreed opening, protection and disposal. | Identify containers, transport and special waste handling. |
| Finishing | Wall, ceiling and floor repairs. | Distinguish structural handover, plastering and decoration. |
Build your cost profile
Select your situation to see the items to include in a quotation. This is a scope guide; a price requires assessment of your home and the agreed work.
Compare two practical situations
For a new doorway, identify retained wall sections, supports and the limits of floor and wall repairs. For a complete kitchen–living room connection, also coordinate services, material handling and the final finish. A narrower opening does not eliminate every preparation cost; compare the whole scope.
VAT, exclusions and changes
An itemised quotation should make the VAT treatment, inclusions and exclusions clear. Discuss validity, provisional items and how additional work is approved. Ask for a total price with VAT separately identifiable. No unverified company price list is published on this page.
Frequently asked questions
Is partial removal always less expensive?
The width alone does not determine the cost. Calculations, permissions, access and the structural solution remain relevant.
Are municipal fees included?
Only if agreed. Municipal fees and application assistance are separate components and should be identifiable in the quotation.
What does a calculation cost?
Ask for a price for the required survey, calculations, drawings and revisions. The scope depends on the information available and the structural complexity.
