What a knock through with steel quote should include

  • Engineer's calculations (who arranges and pays)
  • Temporary support
  • Steel size per design
  • Building control sign-off
  • Making good and what finish is left

Common mistakes

Pricing without the calcs

Steel size drives the price. Quote subject to the engineer's design.

Making good left vague

Say whether you leave it ready for decorating or not.

Questions

Do I need a structural engineer?

+

For load-bearing walls, structural calculations are normally needed for building control.

Does it need building control?

+

Removing a load-bearing wall is structural work that needs building regulations approval.

How long does a knock through take?

+

Often a few days to a week, plus time for plastering to dry.

General guidance, not legal or technical advice. Check current regulations for your job.
