Builder is going to use 3 or 4 acrows/strongboys on each side to support the upstairs wall while the beam (3m span) is installed - does that seem the right way to do things? Should it be the builder or engineer that specifies this, as the BCO wants it noted on the warrant drawings.

On one side the props will be resting on floorboards, the builders will use wooden boards to spread the load across the joists, again is that correct?

Sounds ok to me, it's only a small span.

Is he going to conceal the beam in the floor space?
