Need to build a 230 x 230mm pier as stated in the calculations by the SE in order to support an RSJ
This will then allow me to create an opening between the garage and dining room
I'll be purchasing a wall starter kit from screwfix so I can tie into the existing brickwork

Regarding the starter kit at what intervals do the fixings need to be placed onto the brickwork?
Is the wall starter kit fixed to the wall at a certain points? or at ground level to take up the first course of bricks?
Also when building the pier, I'll be using solid engineering bricks, is it best to fill the centre with mortar as i go along or after the pier is completed?
A 4:1 mix will be used to construct the pier
The pier will be approx 1.5 meters high
Cheers
