Hello, I would really appreciate some advice from an Structural engineer.
We are having a single story side return extension being built and large cracks (3mm-6mm) have appeared in all room above where the load bearing walls were removed.
The cracks inicial appeared when the house was propped with acrows and got worse when the RSJ went in and acrows removed.
The door opening RSJ (around 5m long) is sagging a little (3mm) in the middle.
RSJ were calculated by SE. The builder is well experienced and cames recommended. Are these cracks and deflection expected?
SE is doing a site visit but would really appreciate some advise.
Thanks!
