Building a new intermediate floor. Price?
you should have access to calculation software when you are in the property businessH hul said:
Yes, well, I'm mostly looking for ballpark figures. So I have something to base on when I contact carpenters. They could have said 100,000 SEK or 10,000 SEK and I would just nod because I really have no idea.
I would also guess it can be cheap if everything goes right and very expensive if there are things that go wrong. What kind of "fatal problems" could there be in a job like this?

Do you have the opportunity to provide us with a bit more context (e.g. spans/lengths of floor joists) and preferably also some pictures, so more concrete answers can be given. Also other conditions, such as what kind of ceiling is planned underneath, floor above, whether electrical or plumbing needs to be run through the floor structure, etc.
the most important thing is to see how it looks.S Seet said:I mean, I'm mostly looking for ballpark prices. So I have something to go by when I contact carpenters. They could say 100000 kr or 10000 kr and I would just stand and nod because I really have no clue.

problems arise when you open up and see if, for example, the "bjälkarna" need to be replaced.
or if the moisture has crept away or into your walls.
Unfortunately, I can't provide much more information as I haven't bought the house yet. The only thing that's certain is that everything, everything, everything, materials over approximately 9m2 must be removed. There should be a big hole in the entire kitchen. There must not be a trace of the old stuff left because of the mold, so both beams and joists need to be replaced, I believe. Or are beams spaced more than 3m apart?
Plumbing and electrical work may be added, most likely plumbing at least. But I'm most interested in what the cost from the carpenter would be.

and then we'll pause until you have the house.S Seet said:Unfortunately, I can't provide much more information since I haven't bought the house yet. The only thing that is certain is that everything, everything, everything, material around 9m2 must be removed. So, there will be a big hole in the entire kitchen. Not a trace of the old material can remain due to the mold, so both beams and studs will probably need replacing. Or are beams spaced more than 3m apart?

you might not get the price down to what you think it's worth
hourly rate carpenter = 500krS Seet said:Unfortunately, I don't have the opportunity to provide much more information as I haven't purchased the house yet. The only thing that is certain is that everything, everything, everything, material over about 9m2 must be removed. It will be a big hole throughout the kitchen.

unit time floor structure = 2
square meters = 10
cost = 500*2*10=10,000kr excluding demolition and material
low estimate
