Load bearing wall

    Hi

    I am looking for some help with information about knocking down the load bearing wall between our kitchen and dining room.

    I have gotten a few quotes of 6k to knock it down and put in an rsj. This seems like a ridiculous price for a wall removal to me.

    Just wondering if another way around it is possible....maybe partially knocking it down, I have attached a picture of what I would like to do, add on a small room on one side to the dining room (kitchen currently extends a few feet more than dining room) and keep the wall frames and pillar for the load bearing.

    Would this be possible and would it bring costs down?

    I have also looked into getting a small sunroom or conservatory added as our neighbour has a 17ft extension wall one one side so I thought this would also bring costs down. Prices are still crazy though!

    Any information would be great.

    Thanks

    Doesn't sound unreasonable. The RSJ alone might cost €3-4000.

    I'm looking at two smaller knock-thrus for single (c. 80cm) doors, can use a concrete lintel which is 90% cheaper.
