I recently carried out a competitive tender for a project in Edinburgh where I got two prices to alter the internal layout of a property and remove a load bearing wall. In this video I look at the costs to take down a load bearing wall and install a beam.

As I started watching I thought of a ‘sensible’ price for materials, I then trebled it and added on a bit and I got £20k. But then the stark reality is its treble again for a finished job. It makes any possibility of us ever having an extension near impossible to justify!

I hear you, I actually worry about the future of my business. If regular people cannot afford to work on their homes where does that leave me, a specialist in house extensions and internal alterations

@@RealLifeArchitecture Could/do you do new build architecture as well? Then maybe we'd actually have some decent and well thought out new build property in the UK for a change!

Great video and nice to see someone sharing cost data. For what's involved that slapping cost looks competitive as will be a decent amount of temporary works in that. Just tendered a slapping through a 600mm thick stone wall on a 1.5 storey dwelling (part of a modest extension project) - needs 3No beams on SHS posts & pad founds - the works associated with the slapping are varying between £14K - £20K + VAT across the tenders received (and my project looks considerably easier than yours!). All the best :)

Thank you for sharing as well !

Great video. I had something very similar done last year in Surrey and the costs were close to this.

Thank you for confirming, it’s good to know.

Hi, just wondering how these prices compare to london prices? I have quotes to this for a 4mx2.5m and it looks like more than double that price

@richarddixon6354 Месяц назад

At first I thought that was a scary price, but after listening to you, it isn’t just putting an extension on the property it is keeping your property and the neighbour’s property standing. With building and interest rates still high very few people will be able to afford this type of work.

@RealLifeArchitecture Месяц назад

I agree, on both points

@WHYTHISKOLAVERII Месяц назад

Brill. Can we get an update video once work is half way through...client willing of course.

@RealLifeArchitecture Месяц назад

I will post photos on the community tab and on insta. I was very fortunate the client agreed to this video. Work starts next week and d should take three months

My elderly neighbour is currently doing this, taking down a wall/chimney. She had 2 quotes, one at 4k and one at 21k. She went with the 4k builder who could start the next day. When they started she had a panic on and came to ask me if I thought it was right that it doesn't need a steel and I agreed with her that I thought it did. Either way though she has let them carry on so I'm not sure what she has agreed with them.

@RealLifeArchitecture Месяц назад

What it needs is a structural engineers design and certificate. Also, construction costs should not vary that much between firms of similar size

@@RealLifeArchitecture Oh I appreciate there's lots of alarm bells and she knows it, but still lets them into her house (she paid half up front). Its a bungalow and I think they were surprised when the upstairs floor joist ran the length of the wall, parallel to to wall they were taking out. I helped/advised as best I can, but i'm not sure what more I can do. Was interesting to see that you came up with the same number though.

@RealLifeArchitecture Месяц назад

@@Coppice1 my guess is she will end up paying far more in the long run.

@elthamlad468 Месяц назад

They're clearly cowboys, out to rip her off. She needs to kick them off the job. She'll lose her £2k, valuable lesson but best to do it before they cause far more damage that could have serious safety risks.
