Cost to knock a wall into a cupboard?

[KAgantua]

any chance you could post a pic and/ or floor plan? not clear on what u doing

[Monkeylegend]

Just make sure the outside wall you plan to knock a big hole in isn't load bearing, if it is don't forget to support it before you knock too big a hole in it

Can you reuse the bricks for part of the internal cupboard walls, that should keep the cost down a bit.

Why are you building in brick inside ? Surely would make more sense in stud ?

You'll need a Structural Engineer to evaluate the external wall and do your calcs for the lintel, for safety compliance, future sale and buildings insurance. Also make sure you think about the locking on the door for insurance purposes as it will be considered an external access.

Why not just buy a shed?

I would imagine it'll need to meet building regs from the point of view of both insulation and (somewhat ridiculously) fire safety too.

You'd probably be better off asking in "Homes, Gardens and DIY".

Use a proper exterior door and you should be fine. Internal wall can just be studwork.

This is what I'd do. It seems the simplest and cheapest. Get man round to cut hole, fit lintel and fit external door.

Knock up 3 stud walls.

Lick of paint.

Job jobbed.
