Cost of leveling the 1st floor while doing A&A

[aboodoing 0]

Hi all,

My land 300sqm has a very slight split level on the ground floor, a 40cm step up from front to back of house.  The ceiling height is 3.2m at the front vs 2.8m at the back. I'm considering doing A&A and leveling the entire floor. Has anyone done this before and have an approximation of the cost? My intention is to utilize the existing structure ceiling height of 3.2m all the way on the ground floor.  

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

You need to check your structural plans first. If the underground beams for the rear is not at the same level as the front, the only way for you to level out at 3.2m is to tear down and rebuilt. Can’t hack away the underground beams as that is what is holding the columns and preventing them from collapsing. 
 

the other option for you to achieve a same level is to top up the front. But you end up with low ceilings height everywhere which won’t be ideal
