We're building an 8m length *3m wide extension with a shallow roof and 6m long glass bi-folding doors.
Our architect suggested that we need to put a lintel above the glass door, as expected as it'll also support the supporting roof that will hold two skylights.
The lintel brand he's recommended is approx £500 per metre.
I'm not in the trade, but this seems way expensive. Appreciate any advice about whether this is about right, what type of lintels we ought to look at and what we can do!
Thanks in advance.
