Load-Bearing Wall Door Installation
I'm a MechE by training, but I've been asked by my supervisor to scope out and estimate a job which (among other things) includes installing a door into an 18" thick load-bearing brick wall.
What do I need to consider in this instance? What type of support structure needs to be constructed around the doorjamb in order to install a standard interior door? How labor-intensive is this work (in terms of man-hours), and what equipment will be required?
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
