Feel free to contact us for more information, a quote or advice on removing your load-bearing wall. Are you curious about how we work? In the video next to this text you can see how we work when we remove a load-bearing wall.
What is a load-bearing wall?
A load-bearing wall is a wall or partition with a load-bearing function. In newer terraced houses, these are often the walls separating the houses. In addition, the facade supports all the brickwork that is on top of it. In older houses, there are often also load-bearing walls in the middle of the house. This is especially the case with wooden mezzanine floors. A mezzanine floor always rests on a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing wall cannot be removed without replacing it with a supporting steel structure.
What is needed to get a quote for removing a load-bearing wall?
The first step to be taken in order to remove a load-bearing wall is to have a construction report drawn up. We can do this for you, or you can have it drawn up yourself. In order to be able to make the construction calculation, the archive documents of your home can be requested from the municipality. When the construction report is finished, we will know exactly what kind of steel construction needs to be placed. Based on this, we will then give a price indication. If you find this price indication interesting, in most cases we will be happy to visit your location to make a final quote.
Permit from the municipality and VVE
Because removing a load-bearing wall is a structural change to your home, these activities require a permit. You can apply for this permit at the municipality. For this, you will need, among other things, the structural calculation. In addition, new construction drawings of your home often have to be made in order to obtain the permit. It usually takes about 8 weeks to grant this type of permit. If you are a member of an Owners' Association, they often expect you to report these activities before you start the
activities.
Our approach
Removing a load-bearing wall, including placing the steel structure, usually takes a maximum of one week. In some cases, this can be achieved in 2 days, depending on the complexity of the breakthrough. When we arrive, we will prop up the floor to ensure that the load-bearing wall is relieved. We will then measure out the opening and saw into the wall. We will then cut away the wall and remove the rubble. Once this rubble has been removed, there will be room to place the steel structure. We will put everything in place and then weld the steel structure together. In many situations, the beam must be undercut with low-shrinkage mortar so that the forces are all properly distributed again. We deliver the space broom-clean. Once the low-shrinkage mortar is dry, we will remove the props and the space will be ready to be finished!
The costs of removing a load-bearing wall.
The costs for removing a load-bearing wall vary greatly. This depends on the thickness of the wall and the material of the wall that needs to be removed. It is also important to know how much wall needs to be removed. In addition, the foundation plan can also influence the costs for removing a load-bearing wall. In most situations, we can remove your load-bearing wall and install a steel structure for an amount between €3000 and €7000 excluding VAT. Are you curious about the possibilities? Then contact us without obligation!
Other construction work
In addition to removing load-bearing walls, we also do other construction work in the house. For example, think of making a new stairwell, or placing a skylight or flat roof window in a concrete roof. An extra steel construction is not always necessary, but it is important to think about this in advance.

FAQ
It is not recommended to remove a load-bearing wall yourself. If the removal of the load-bearing wall is not handled accurately and expertly, it can lead to very dangerous situations. The Betonboorder constructors have a great deal of knowledge about load-bearing walls, steel structures and floors. Should anything happen during the work, we have a continuous liability insurance for the construction.
No, a load-bearing wall cannot always be removed just like that. A construction professional must create a structure to map out and repair the instability. Because removing a load-bearing wall changes the structure of a home or building, you must always apply for an environmental permit from the municipality in advance.
The period in which we carry out the work depends in most cases on the size of the project. We strive to realise short waiting times. Here you should think of approximately 2 to 3 months.
Would you like to know how much it costs to have a load-bearing wall removed by the professionals of Betonboorder? Because not every situation and construction is the same, we ask you to contact us. We are happy to help you.
In principle, we always remove the rubble and leave everything broom clean. If desired, we can leave the rubble on site for a reduced rate. Customized quotes are certainly possible! Contact us to inquire about the possibilities.
