subsidence in house after renovation - assessment needed

also posted in Engineering - grateful for any responses in either thread:

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.

How big are the cracks?
