Can I just remove a load-bearing wall?
No. Removing a load-bearing wall almost always needs an environmental permit (omgevingsvergunning), together with a structural calculation showing your home stays safe. We arrange both, so you never have to deal with the municipality in Dutch.
What does removing a load-bearing wall cost?
That depends on the span and on what the wall carries. Expect a few thousand euros for the complete job. It works in two steps: after your photos you get an indicative price for the whole job plus a fixed price for the drawing and the calculation. Once the calculation is done we know which steel and which bearings are needed, and the price for the work is fixed.
How long does it take?
The work itself usually takes two to five working days, including making good. Before that comes the paperwork: drawing, calculation and the municipal permit procedure. You get one schedule for the whole thing up front.
Can I order only the calculation, or only the work?
Yes. If you already have a builder, we deliver the drawing and the calculation. If you already have an approved calculation, we do the work. The complete package is for people who would rather not think about it.
