The cost of removing a wall which is load bearing can vary considerably and must include inspection, professional labour, parts (e.g. the RSJ) and possibly paying for a Local Authority permit. It naturally increases with the size of the wall. Our fee for a Structural Engineer - Load Bearing Wall Survey is INC VAT. A RICS surveyor may comment on whether a wall is load bearing, however, you cannot rely upon this, as they are not qualified to confirm. Only a Structural Engineer can definitively confirm if a wall is load bearing.
