I am adding a 2 storey extension where I need to install a 4 meter universal beam upstairs to sit directly underneath the roof plate.
I am looking for the best way to support the roof while installing the steel. It is a cut roof with a purlin just less than half way up.
I have thought about using strongboys under the plate, but they would get in the way a bit when putting in the steel, or across across under the ceiling joists and then putting in some extra timber between the joist and the rafter.
Also should I also acro the ground floor under the first floor acros, or would it be ok to spread the load across a few floor joists with boards?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
