It needs to be in place prior to propping. If the beam is heavy, you will need to use genie lifts (both ends), then you will need sufficient gaps in the propping (900mm). Strongboys may not ne man enough, i.e. needling may be required. Plus, the Genies will need running boards, so that they have an uninterrupted travel along the ground and the beam will need to be elevated on blocks etc....
Not too bad that, no upstairs, no roof load. Are you planning to fit from inside to preserve the external brickwork? I think I would. You can get a longer strongboy thing now which would give space to hoik It up and in.
You see I have tho different heights outside and inside because of the bottom plate so my only option to put steel in between before I start to insert strongboys and acrows
Yes of course steel will need to be in place first. The problem is that plate is so wide that you wouldn't fit it between acrows and wall unless you use the longer strongboys inside. I'm assuming you want to try and preserve the external brickwork - otherwise normal strongboys for outer skin and needles higher up for the inner.
No I don't mind external bricks as bricklayer will be on site
