I've a building firm who I've employed to build me an extension where they've done the external construction and I'll be doing the rest.
I'm now pink boarding the steel beams and came across five loose bolts on beams/columns which are supporting the main structure of the house. The beams are welded on each joint to their columns.
I spoke to the builder and they can't get nobody out until after Easter which holds a load of work up. They instead suggested I tighten the bolts with an adjustable wrench.
Not happy about this response, and actually p*ssed off. I can do it but not taking liability for a job which should be done and verified by them. Plus, any liability insurance would be questionable should the structure collapse and I'd tampered with the work for which I'm not qualified to do.
The builder also said that the beams had passed, probably by the building inspector.
Any feedback would be great.
TIA
