YamahaYzf16 Oct 2021 11:13Hello dear forum members,
I am planning to add a terrace to the first floor of my existing single-family house (the bottom edge of the structure will be approximately 2.5 m (8 feet) above ground level).
My first choice is a steel framework as the supporting structure.
There are different opinions regarding the optimal choice of supporting structure (steel, wood, concrete, etc.). Visually, steel appeals to me the most.
Roughly, I plan a "cantilever balcony" supported by 3 steel columns and a steel staircase leading down to the garden.
I will take care of pouring the concrete foundations for the columns myself, as well as the connection of the structure to the house, the railing, and the flooring. The balcony door is already installed.
I will also assemble the structure myself with helpers (we have the necessary tools, scaffolding, and experienced helpers).
The steel staircase is already available and will also be installed by us.
So, I am mainly interested in the cost of such a steel structure itself.
My questions:
What is a reasonable price for the steel structure?
(I understand that the information will only be approximate, but a rough estimate would be helpful.)
Just out of curiosity: What is the most cost-effective type of supporting structure to build a terrace of these dimensions (steel, wood, concrete, etc.)?
Thank you in advance!

Wood is probably the most affordable option. It can also be done entirely as a DIY project if you have some carpentry skills.

What is a reasonable price for the steel structure? 4 x 8 m (13 x 26 ft) is not exactly a dimension you plan and calculate over a lunch break.
On the internet, you can read:
One square meter of balcony (including foundation, railing, and decking) costs about 1250 EUR gross. Whether aluminum, steel, or concrete.

@YamahaYzf What do the stairs and the railing look like? They should somehow match.
