Hello,

how much does it cost to cut a door opening through a load-bearing wall, including the materials for a door, approximately the range of material costs and labor effort?

I would buy the door second-hand.

(Or is it even possible to create the door opening yourself?)

Best regards

Ask a structural engineer!

They will tell you if it’s feasible.

If that feels like too much, just go for it and hope it holds. 😉

Yes, a structural engineer is already noted, but they only determine if it’s feasible, not what it costs. 🙂

If he says it’s possible, I roughly estimate the cost for doing it to be around 300-400 euros.

Yes, that would be very affordable, thanks for the information.

But keep in mind that electrical wiring or water pipes, etc., may also be located there.
