Cost removal structural wall - county Cork 2023

WWijnnobel

Looking to get a ballpark on how much it might cost to take down a load bearing wall between the kitchen and dining room in my new house in county Cork.

The old part is build in circa 1850 (good structural shape) and the extension in 1980, it's the old exterior wall that already has an opening of aprox. 1,2m which I'm looking to extened to 3 meters, total wall lenght is around 4 meters. As there is already a hight differance between the old part of the building and the extension I do not expect a flush ceiling. Except from the doorway, there are no radiators on either side of the wall or electrics.

Anyone take an estimated guess as to how much that job would cost? Obviously, give it's a major structural amendment, a structural engineers tick off would be required.

I know there's probably gonna be a significant price differential between a visible beam below the roof and a flush ceiling. Any idea how much?

You need to retain a Chartered Civil Engineer to provide detailed Drawings of all the necessary works, for what you wist to achieve.

You then need Building Contractors to visit your house and give an estimates to complete the works as detailed by the Engineer.

The Engineer should inspect the works being carried out and provide certification on completion.

@WWijnnobel what price did you end up with? I'm in almost identical situation and was thinking about removing that wall as well. Thanks.
