Before Christmas I removed the wall between living and dining room with my father in law (who is a builder). Cost was around £6.5k
£3.5k was his labour and materials
£1k steel frame
£1k. Custom plaster coving around the dining room (to match existing in the living room)
£450 structural engineer
£500ish for new skirting + fitting everywhereThat got us to a plastered finish. I did a lot of labour myself though - moving light switch and sockets, plaster boarding, replacing/swapping floorboards, reinstating picture rail etc
I can't obviously comment for Scotland but I'd say your quote seems reasonable.
Oh and we had a skip (£350)

I'm in the process of getting quotes for a 3m-ish load bearing wall knocked down, a steel inserted, over-boarding the ceiling, plastering and making everything "good" plus the doorway into the room being widened (non load bearing) and making good.
Things not included are fixing flooring or installing doors.
First quote has come in at just over £6k which may or may not include plastering. That seems very high to me especially with the may/may not include plastering. Anyone done anything similar and can reveal indicative costs?
We're not London either, in Scotland.
