Leveling a sunken lounge room

Page 1 of 1
We are thinking about renovating our kitchen, dining and living room to make it open plan. This would involve taking out the two walls that separate the kitchen/dining room and the sunken lounge. We would like to make the kitchen larger by extending into the lounge room. How hard and expensive would it be to level the floors and the ceilings?
Thanks!!!
So many factors, are the walls load bearing?
Construction methods used [brick, timber]?
Floor construction [concrete,timber]?
Ceiling heights?
You need expert advice. You may have to invest in a structural engineer. Or if someone is designing the alterations for you they should take care of all that.
