How much would a builder charge (roughly)?

Question

to knock down 2 walls (non-supporting) - average size 3 bedroom house - knocking the lounge through and kitchen wall into the dining room - and how long would that take?

Answer 1

My dad does that work for $45 an hour, not including materials or other helpers.

Answer 2

How long is a piece of string? And how long is the wall?

How did you confirm that the walls are non supporting?

Price it up like this, day rate £100 per day per person approx, for the demolition.

£120 for a skip.

Plasterers are pricey as it is skilled and will charge £140 per day easy, per person, and electricians charge £40 an hour to visit your proerty and tail off wires.

Then don't forget the floor screeding (plasterer) another days work.

Allow £1000
