Love these videos many thanks. I have a similar sized project in mind. Can i ask for approx cost of steel? And are steel fabricators usually this helpful in fitting? Thanks.
The cost for the steel is detailed in my video about how I priced that house extension. Link below. Steel fabricators are neither helpful nor unhelpful. You just need to decide whether you want to pay for measure, supply and fit, or just supply with you organising the tools to fit. Thanks for your comment. Cost to build this HOUSE EXTENSION?

Thank you so much for your help and advice. Am so keen on doing my side extension for end of terrace house . I have a few questions but feel I need to give you something back . Is it possible to pay you for an hour of your time ? Thank you again
Length of steel for needle depends on thickness of wall plus 600 each side to allow a person to walk between the props and the face of the wall you’re going to demolish. The ones at the end on the diagonal I made longer because I didn’t want them to interfere with the foundations
@@build-better-things You are great man. Answer me this time. I’m watching your video & inspired. I’m doing my extension my self . My out side wall stone build. Inside brick. 100 years old house. Wall size 350 total Total width of the house 7m. Can I use total 2m long (needle) steel ? Thanks
You need a structural engineer to give you those sizes, or calculate them yourself with a risk assessment. I can’t do it here for you. I’ll pass the lengths past my engineer before cutting them to size. The needle depth comes from your engineer
when you say you will do this and that, is it actually you doing it? I do like your videos and I do agree with all you are saying, its a proper bum hole pucker time doing this kind of work lol
All the work I’ve shown in these videos I have done myself with my own hands, sometimes I have my colleague to help, but I rarely work with more than the two of us, and we do most if not all the trades. Where I get outside help, such as steel fabrication, which is done in a factory and delivered by crane, then of course I will get the fabricator’s input. In this case, after we did the prep, I had the fabricator deliver and raise the steel in place, but we shimmed and completed the critical work.

What length steel ( needle) you used ? Thanks
