How do I attached a picture to this post?

SE-Crop-1 by Minatoar posted 27 Oct 2016 at 4:28 PMMy architect drew plans for my extension and proposed that the roof be constructed using steel hip beams and steel ridge beam, (see dotted line on drawing) and that I would need a structeral enginneer to specify the steels. I contacted an on...

For the knock through would a: Catnic Extra Heavy Duty Lintel 2550mm Cx90/100 be suitable?

Thanks to all who replied. I have double checked and the quote is for the beam and the steel elements of the roof structure. It also states " We are anticipating good ground conditions suitable for mass concrete spread foundations but have still recommended trial holes to confirm the exact...

Finally had planning approval and have submitted drawings to building control. My architect has obtained a quotation from a structural engineer in respect of a circa 2.6 meter steel beam which will be needed when my existing patio doors and a section of wall are removed. See section of drawing...
