Hi,
We've had a load bearing wall knocked through partially, the wall is 2.4m long and now has an opening of 1.6m in it. Initially the builder quoted for an rsj but as opening was made a bit smaller than original quote he has used a concrete lintel instead as says an rsj is not necessary.
The wall is in a 3 bed semi with a wall above and supports the joists upstairs too.
Anyone's thoughts on this?
Thanks.
