Steel column and pad in wrong place

[vik2001]

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?

[Andehh]

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!

How wrong ? 

A few mm, or several cm?

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....

IMO you need an SE or building control to advise what they will accept.

what is holding the joists up currently?

Why is it in the wrong place? Who designed it?

Some.internal stud work.

 

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.

That's the theory side of it sorted. Doing it is another matter and presumably the errant builders are long gone.
