Today’s job involved removing a steel beam that had clearly been installed using the highly regarded “that’ll do” engineering method.
The only problem? It bore very little resemblance to what the structural engineer had actually specified.
We’ve removed it, installed the correct steel exactly as designed, and the job is now back to how it should have been in the first place.
This is why cutting corners on structural work is never worth it. A steel beam isn’t somewhere to get creative or save a few quid. If an engineer has gone to the trouble of calculating and specifying it, there’s usually a good reason.
Another one put right. Hopefully the previous installer sticks to flat-pack furniture in future. 😏
Next Job is to prep for the plasterers and then we’re on with the kitchen install 🔥
