I engaged Affordable Building Projects to carry out a very tricky structural alteration Barn Conversion Project in Prescot Lancashire which will be my future home. The job involved the threading of a 3.6m long structural steel beam through internal multiple rooms and the cutting out of the internal ‘skin’ of an existing 9″ wall to conserve and support the external sandstone lintels on the ‘toe’ of the beam. There were two other 3.1m long UBs to fit in very tight internal spaces. I have been involved as a QS in the execution of hundreds of commercial construction contracts over the last 30 years and am aware of the technical difficulty and skill required for this particularly difficult type of work. I must compliment Kirk Smith and his lads on a superb job to a first class finish, the Architect and Structural Engineer are similarly impressed as is the Building Inspector. The quoted price was competitive and the the execution was faultless. 100% recommended.
