You know there's always a crane, holes in roof etc. to get loft floor
steelwork in. Any reason why the RSJs etc couldn't be supplied in 2
pieces with great big metal plates to bolt them together ?

No reason at all - they often are. But of course cost more. They have to
be 'spliced' at the suppliers.

Then I could carry the bits up there myself !


I somehow doubt it. Steels are heavy.

May be cheaper than a crane.

Cranes are actually rather good value.

I plan to do a structural loft floor, then a dormer conversion later.
