We had a 12m ridge beam put into our bungalow when we did work a few years back.. It came in 3 bits and was installed when I got home from work.. I didn't even want to think about how they got it up and in place.. it's total weight was about 750kg..
The builder said he would never try anything like mine again. He did an identical extension last month and the hole and beam were the first thing he did. With ours the walls were built and that restricted access to put the beam in - nightmare!
