This type of jobs need more investigation, qualified contractor to assess and preferably need to get an engineer to design and draw the plans to get a permit from the city. Some walls are straight forward to be removed and re-structured and cost few thousands to be done and some are a bit complicated and needs more work and that will definitely make the cost a bit higher

Hi Darcy,

There are several steps required for these types of projects. It all starts with a stamped engineers report. Based on that, costs can be established, and a permit pulled.

Wall removals need to be properly structured from the bottom (crawl space / basement) up. A lot of variables.

Rough guess...$6-$10k in MB incl drawings, permit etc.

Best of luck....

Really difficult to say by just pics and sketch but rough estimate of 5-9K is about right. It really needs to be inspected by a qualified contractor (T-85 licensed) or an engineer which I am licensed and I have engineers I wok with all the time.

Good luck.
