The cost is more than the wall.
Loads, span, support, access and finishes determine the work. A price for steel alone is not a price for the complete opening. Share your drawings and desired result so the quotation can identify included work, provisional items and exclusions.
Survey and drawings
Existing conditions, archive information, measurement and drawing work.
Structural design
Calculations, steel solution, connections and temporary support planning.
Permissions
Application support, additional documents and municipal fees.
Site preparation
Access, protection, service surveys and specialist coordination.
Opening and steel
Demolition, fabrication, delivery, transport and installation.
Waste and finishing
Agreed disposal, cladding, junction repairs and completion level.
Your checklist
- Photographs of both sides of the wall
- A plan or available drawings
- The desired opening and finish
- What is above the wall and your preferred timing
Frequently asked questions
Is there a fixed price per metre?
Loads, support and access differ between buildings. A project quotation specifies the full work instead of relying on width alone.
Are calculations and permit costs included?
Only when agreed. Calculations, drawings, application support and municipal fees are separate items.
Is the opening completely finished after installation?
That depends on the agreed completion standard. Waste removal, cladding, plastering, painting and floor repairs are separate tasks.
How do I avoid surprises in a quotation?
Share drawings, photographs and alteration history. Identify fixed sums, provisional items and exclusions, and agree how changes are discussed before execution.
Does a non-load-bearing wall cost less to remove?
It has a different scope from a structural opening. Actual costs still depend on material, services, access, removal and repairs.
Can I book a final construction date now?
Discuss your preferred period, but make the start dependent on final documents, permissions, delivery and site preparation.
