"In Dublin, knocking through an internal load-bearing wall and installing an RSJ steel beam typically costs between €4,500 and €11,500 depending on beam span, temporary works propping, padstone foundations, and ceiling recess requirements."
Removing the wall between a cramped rear kitchen and dining room is the single most transformative improvement in a Dublin semi-detached home. The key is embedding the steel beam flush into the ceiling joists so no downstand ceiling bulkhead remains.
Yes, absolutely. Building Control and home insurers require an independent Chartered Structural Engineer's calculation for beam sizing and padstone bearing capacity.
Consultations conducted Monday to Friday across South Dublin, North Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow. Guaranteed itemized fixed-price RIAI tenders.
