Hi John, this is far to vague a description to advise you. What are the steel dimensions? Is it at the back or side? is there good access? have the external walls over the steel been supported? Is the existing wall already down? Have padstones been installed? have services in/close to wall been capped off/removed? I could go on, if you wanted everything doing from start to finish including provision of lifting equipment and supports, padstone installation and dry-packing, making good the opening and carting all the debris away, budget between 2000 and 3000. Some steels are easy to install and some very complicated hence the big price difference. If all the prep has been done and someone else is dry packing and making good then you are looking at 1000 to 1300 again depending on ease of access etc.

John i'm guessing you have builders on site and you are just checking to see if their quote is fair (which is a very good idea), if so, as a matter of interest what was the figure quoted?

What would you like to do now?
