Kitchen Knock-Throughs & Open-Plan Layouts in Poole
Open up your kitchen, dining room or living space with a planned wall knock-through. PlanBuild handles wall checks, drawings, RSJ route, Building Control and build work across Poole and Dorset.
Short answer
You know the rooms should connect, but you need to know which wall can move, whether a steel is needed, and how to avoid a messy builder-first guess.
What's included
Clear route, no guesswork
- Check the wall, span and likely structural route
- Plan the kitchen/dining opening and new flow
- Arrange drawings and engineer input where needed
- Prepare the Building Control route
- Define making-good, plastering and fit-out boundaries
- Price the works from a known scope
How it works
The PlanBuild route

Send photos, a quick video or plans. We identify the likely wall route and what needs checking first.
Decide the safest opening
We map the opening width, steel route, approvals and build sequence before committing to the work.
Open the space properly
The job moves from idea to controlled structural alteration, then into the open-plan finish you actually wanted.
