    We bought had renovations undertaken on a 100 year old house - supporting wall removed and replaced with RSJ. We are now experiencing cracking in parts of the house.

    I would imagine we're going to have to suck this up ourselves, or sue the builder via their insurance.

    In the meantime, what should we be doing:
    1) getting assessment by structural engineer
    2) getting a plan for remediation written by the engineer?

    Does anyone have experience of this, and how much it cost? Could anyone recommend a company that might be able to help with this?

    We're in central Dublin.

    thanks a mill

    What did your original structural engineer say about the cracks
