Creating a doorway in a load-bearing wall usually costs between €900 and €2,500. The price depends on the wall thickness, property type, size of the opening and whether a lintel or steel beam is needed. Structural calculations, permits, rubble removal, plastering or finishing may add extra costs. A simple opening with limited finishing is often at the lower end of the range, while a larger opening with structural support will usually cost more.
On average, creating a doorway in a load-bearing wall takes 1 to 2 days. Preparation can take longer if a structural calculation, permit or building check is needed first. The actual cutting, breaking and support work can often be completed within a day, but finishing work such as plastering, fitting a frame or painting may take extra time.
The professional first checks the situation and confirms whether the wall is load-bearing. They then determine what support is needed, such as a lintel or steel beam. The opening is carefully marked, temporarily supported and safely cut or broken out. After that, the structural support is installed and the opening can be prepared for a frame or door. Finishing work such as plastering, trimming or rubble removal can be included depending on the agreement.
