Hi all Bit of an update Footing in and bricked upto dpc and drain moved Next hurdle is to measure steal so tbey are waiting to be i stalled when bricked up Question is regarding supporting a cavity wall I cannot use pins i dont think as joists for upstairs run parallel with the wall im...

i had a quote for steel and im looking about £1500 which im happy about going to start digging now i think so top of padstone height needs to be same as top of footing height in trench? as the foundations go therefore to satisfy building control they need to be 600 wide and 1000 deep how...

Lol its ok Im an engineer by trade I do know the local steel supplier thats why i was thinking steels may be easier and hopefully i can get the materials a bit cheaper and fab cost minimal Gonna try and get a quote based on that drawing tomorrow i think Il update Blocks would be cheaper i...

Instead of studding the wall i should of bricked up but gro t room plastered etc now so tough luck i think haha So within reason the pads can be varying heights and steels can compensate for height differences i take it They are pretty simple then Just concrete slabs that the steel posts just...

The pads though Are they literally 900x800x450 holes dug, filled with the correct spec concrete then the steels are measured up and resin bolted into the concrete or do i have to set steel feet into the pad stones that im creating and then bolt from the steel post to the steel foot?

No just single to rear not a wrap around I cant support the upstairs joists off the internal wall as its only 100mm and is studded next to it so would have to create a corner for the support The rsj would be resting right next to studding hence the reason a steel post is needed

It was that or build pillars Steel seemed less intrusive internally and i thought it would be more simple 3 posts and 2 steels so a T suspended by 3 posts The 2 main ones supporting back wall/roof to be sat on a foundation /pad 900x800x450 deep and the third on 600x600x450 pad Do i dig and...
