  • Some just on the bricks/piers, others on padstones, and the column has since been underpinned with a load of concrete (photos are from the day the work was done so a few updates)
    Also a few sections of steel plates welded here and there.

    Building inspector has been out and had a look for what it’s worth :)

    edit: opening in the first photo is only about 1.4m too

    edit 2: exactly how I managed to get a 2:1 in Civil Engineering with such a lack of basic knowledge about how buildings work is something that still makes me ponder 10+ years later…

  • If the building inspector has signed it off there's no problem.

    Pro tip: Get photo documentation yourself with date / time stamps of everything the building inspector has been to check. I worked for a client in the past who had to remove large sections of bonding and plaster, then make good again, at their own cost, because the council building inspector lost the paperwork.
