Hi All, trying to figure out the best order to get these steels in shown on image in blue. internal existing and new beam b's have block walls on top upto roof supports then the big supporting beam across the back of the house. This weighs around 650kg and will be sat on engineering brick pillars either side. the existing beams will connect to the supporting beam with cleat connections. would you fit the large beam first and then the two internals? also steels will be going up in between joist so top of steel to top of joist height.

Thanks mate. Can you get a timber that wide or will two be on top of each other in the web? agreed about the se

Yo people first post on here. We are having an extension 7m x 3.5m. The SE has designed two solid brick piers out of engineering brick to sit a 305x165x54UB 6700mm which will also have two cleat connections for two other steels. my problem is this…….the main supporting beam as above is sitting central to the piers which brings the steel further away from the house joists. The SE has advised joining new joists to the existing but longer to fit in the web of the steel. the joist are 160mm and the web of steel is about 280mm. so the joist will be coming in to the top half of the web? How would I connect these?
