Kitchen

1 tasks

Pre-Construction Planning

Demolish dividing wall between kitchen and dining

High

Not Started

REVISED: 20 gen + 8 skilled hrs + dust containment + bin. Load-bearing wall removal.

Non-structural partition removal (structural beam installed separately). Wall dimensions: ~4.2m wide x 2.7m high = ~11.3 sqm. Timber stud + plasterboard both sides. Labourer: 1 day to strip plaster, remove studs, clean up = [price hidden]. Plasterer: patch ceiling line where wall met ceiling + door head removal = [price hidden]. Electrician: relocate any switches/GPOs in wall (assume 2 points) = [price hidden]. Skip bin portion: [price hidden]. Dust protection: plastic sheeting + zip doors for adjacent rooms = [price hidden]. Total: [price hidden] + [price hidden] + [price hidden] + [price hidden] + [price hidden] = [price hidden]. Budgeted [price hidden] includes contingency for unknown services. CONFIDENCE: 60/100 — Straightforward if wall is confirmed non-load-bearing (structural engineer must verify). Risk: hidden services (plumbing, data cables). QUESTIONS: (1) Has structural engineer confirmed this wall is non-load-bearing? (2) Are there any services (power, data, plumbing) running through this wall? (3) What's on the other side of the wall in adjacent rooms?
