Thanks for all the comments so far. There is alot to go through and I need to get my builder friend to make sense of some of it for me. I'm sure I can do alot of the work myself with my dad once I know what I'm doing. I've had a structural engineer involved for the design of all the loadings. Gus - Not sure if it will help but that 7th picture wall will have a 2x4 wall/double doorway coming from it to the opposite wall (you can see the gap better in the 8th picture) Temp - No pic of that section that dropped unfortunately. It dropped about 15mm I believe at the end towards the steel. I can make a video walkthrough or take more pictures if it would help matters?

Hello to all, I'm having major work done to renovate my bungalow including a converted attic. Long story short I'm not convinced my builder has done a fantastic job and even worse has pretty much done a bunk and left me waiting for him to come back for the last 3 months. Specifically my concern is around fixing the downstairs ceiling into the steel beams and walls. From what I could tell he has just used a nail gun to attach them to the wall (maybe the wallplate?) and thats it. In the 5th picture I have shown a wide view (contains the stairs lay on the floor), this section dropped and prompted me to get another builder to fix it, and you can see how he did this in the first picture by attaching an offcut with screws and notching it into the beam. In addition he went all around the house and screwed in Reisser Cutter Screws. However, I'm still not at all convinced this is the correct solution. At this point i'm almost out of money so ideally looking for the best solution that isn't rip it out and do it again. Thanks for having a look Derek
