To support the end of steel #3 the structural engineers have asked for a pier to be built at the intersection of two walls.
The first thing to do is to support the lintel that currently bears on the wall, fold back the carpet, cut some floor boards and joists out and then knock out enough brick work at the base of the walls to gain access to where the hole needs to be dug for the foundation concrete.
The foundation is to be a piece of concrete 750 square and set 1 metre into the ground.
