Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
I am looking for a structural engineer to advise on proposed amendments to my basement. There are two proposed amendments:
- Lowering of the floor. We are looking to lower the floor in the basement below the current footings of the property by around 6”. Rather than underpinning we are considering placing a shunt around the edge of the floor to cover/support the footings at a 45 degree angle. We want to confirm this is sufficient.
- Currently through the middle of the room is a wall. This does not seem to any function, but may be supporting/acting as a brace for the retaining wall. We would like commentary on whether this wall can be removed and if not what options we have I.e partial removal or alternative braces.
Can you please quote for advising on the attached if interested and let me know whether this can be done remotely and if so what info is needed.
I am looking for a UK advisor with relevant accreditation and insurance.
Thanks
