Hi all, I am planning a single storey extension on the back of my 4 bed terraced house, it will be 7m wide (removing the back wall & putting a steel in) & will go out 2.7m. I have consulted a structural engineer over the steel calcs but my question is do i need architects drawings ? the builder...

LOL I spotted one the other day, Jeans, chequered shirt, body-warmer ! seems to be the standard attire, clean and pressed !

If the structural engineer specs 2 of the C type steels could the the inner skin be done 1st then the outer one and then bolt them together ? Don't worry I am using a builder for this I just want to understand how it should and could be done before I start talking to them.

don't mind goal posts and am pretty sure I can get below the ceiling height, its propping the place up I'm concerned with, don't really want the needles, would rather just across and strongboys, no idea if that achievable or not, will the structural engineer tell me, the upstairs room is an...

That is exactly what I'm looking at doing, what is the name of that system your propping up with there? it doesn't look like acrows and strongboys. I can see the joists are resting on the lower beam so are this higher piece in the upstairs rooms ? my downstairs ceiling are reasonably high so is...

All, thinking of building a single storey extension on the back of my house that would include removing the rear wall and fitting a 7m RSJ (to open it up into a more square room) is a 7m RSJ realistic ? cant find much info online of builds what that sort of size beam, or would it be way to hard...

just checked CU its on a 16A fuse, there are 2 sockets, one is this spare one the other one the boiler is plugged into.

was going to go from the cable (to the socket), so junction box to outdoor socket and junction box to 5amp fuse ??

that would be easiest, i'll check the rating when i get home, Ta

only thing on circuit, my mate reckons some sparky's did it so they could get a power socket on while their fitting out the rest, get back to you with rating, Ta.

the outdoor socket was for xmas lights/lawnmower etc, the outdoor junction box was going to go one way to the lights and other way to a socket. everything is rcd protected, Ta.

i have a single plug socket direct from the consumer unit located halfway up the stairs on an outside wall, id like to come directly out of the back of it into an outdoor junction box going to 1) an outdoor 1 gang wall socket and 2) 2 security lights and pir with a switch (indoors), i have a...
