Can I have ideas / guestimate how much it would be for builder to knock through a block wall and add a door?
Thanks

I cut a hole through a brick wall for a door once. It was about 15 years ago, so costs are a bit of a guess.
*Hire of demolition saw to cut bricks - $100 for the day (maybe less?)
*Steel lintel to support top of door frame - $30
*Hardwood for doorframe - $50
*Door - decent ones are several hundred - $500
*Door furniture/locks - $200
*Screws, drill bits, safety goggles, gloves, earmuffs etc - $100.
I'm assuming you have a ladder, decent impact drill, hammer, chisels, measuring tape, hand saw or circular/bench saw, spirit level etc already, otherwise add these tools.
First thing I did was to trace out along the top of the door in the mortar between two lines of bricks using the demo saw (need a good ladder or something solid to stand on for this) to install the steel lintel, to make sure of support of bricks above the area where you cut the sides of the door opening.
