knock down wall, RSJ and plastering

Sentinal73

Hi all

I have a small kitchen and would like to remove the supporting wall and create a kitchen diner

I've had a structual engineer in who is in the process of working out the size of the RSJ required

I've had a quote from a builder for the following

• Prop wall at ceiling height
• remove wall and insert concrete padstones and steel
• plasterboard ceilings
• double plasterboard steel to meet regs
• make good all electrical chases
• plaster ceilings and walls (mostly skim)

It doesn't include the price of the steel

I live in the surrey/hants area

Is this quote about right?

Thanks !!

also forgot to add, the finished room will be 3.5m x 4.9m approx

and the wall to be removed will be approx 2.6m

thanks

Building control need to be involved so £1,400 sounds about right...
