Hi, I have drawn some plans for a loft conversion but unsure of the beam positions.
I have put the steel next to and in between some window openings at the side of the lintels, only because the house is a single skin wall and because I need to drop the ceilings for height. Putting them horizontally would mean they go through next door. I do not think they would appreciate that.
I am also unsure about how the loft floor will react on the beams in the kitchen. I have done some calcs myself and think it would be ok but would rather get a 2nd opinion before I submit these to building control.
I look forward to your input.
Thanks
