Tricky question but if I want to remove the center walls in a 20′ brownstone and have 4 floors resupported with horizontal rather than perpendicular steel beams what do you think I’m looking at cost wise?

the cost will be determined by what the structural engineer thinks is necessary. just somebody blabbing away on this newsgroup isn’t going to be useful info. and the structural engineer will likely not even know the cost of the remedy until it gets bid out.
I just wanted an idea of what it cost i.e. has anyone done something similar…I’m trying to budget my reno to see if I can do it this year or next…
I’m not looking to go to HD and do it myself…of course I’d hire an engineer…dude
dude. hire a structural engineer for this kind of info. strangers on the web are not the way to go here.
