Hi all,
Just hoping for a bit of input into whether this quote seems fair please?

b. Acro prop support to ceiling joists.
c. Demolish the existing internal structural steel supports between the kitchen and dining room.
d. Supply 1 no steel beam fitted to the ceiling line together with concrete supporting pad stones! (as to structural engineers specifications)
e. Make good the abutments ready for plastering and make good affected floor area
f. Apply fire rated plasterboard cladding to the steel beam ready for the plastering
!
g. A Structural Engineers design will be required! (I've already paid for this separately)
!!!!!!!!!!!

h. Apply for N.B.C. Building Regulation Notice approval before works commences.

Prices vary a lot on property location,

The length of the beam is not stated,this gives an idea of the amount of work required,

Have you had other quotes ?

Agree - this type of work varies hugely depending on where you are. Moved from Home Counties to Devon and our trades are a 3rd less at least. A&B cost the builder virtually nothing, the cost is the amount of steels required and how long to carry out the work. Goes without saying go for 'fixed price' and agree the standard of 'making good' ask builder if he will be sole job till completed - e.g. Not start then delay as 'other job is taking longer, emergencies etc.' On my 4th renovation now and I've had the lot : ) also had great experiences, always squeak to a previous customer. Good luck and enjoy the new kitchen, always worth it!
