Hi,
We have had a structural engineer advise that as we are opening up the back of our house by some 6 meters we will need to support the load by having a steel frame that is supported on a pad foundation at each end of the opening to support the overhead steel. This sounds very complicated and potentially very expensive can anyone help me to understand if this is straight forward for a competent builder to do and if it is an expensive part of the build?
Appreciate any advise that can be given.
Thanks
