vik2001 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I've had major issues at my place. Now we have realised a steel spanning 10m to support a external wall being removed is in wrong place. It has a middle column post using a pad buried 1m into ground. How easy would it be to remove this and start again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andehh Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Can the design around it be modified to suit? I'd imagine there's a good few days work for a couple of guys to remove it at best. As ever with money and resolve, anything is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vik2001 Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 It's totally in wrong place, above joists. I want to revert back to original wall but have to dig new foundations for the external wall and remove steel. But I don't k ow how to proceed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 IMO you need an SE or building control to advise what they will accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saveasteading Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Why is it in the wrong place? Who designed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A se designed it, but thr previous builders put it in wrong place, and on one end it's on a non load bearing wall. I got a new se coming on site to have a look and offer some guidance.
