Having never worked with steel in my life (apart from when I made a small
hammer in CDT in school) I'm just trying to prepare myself for the worst and
have a few questions:-

1. How do you go about drilling big holes in RSJs?

How big? But mostly with a HSS drill of the size required (HSS= High
Speed Steel)

2. Is it possible to cut RSJs?

Yes, by using either a 9 inch angle grinder with a steel cutting blade,
or a sthil saw with same, or by using oxy-acetlylene cutting equipment

3. What are 'RSAs'? (Reinforced Steel Anchors?)

Rolled Steel Angle (Iron)

4. What is 'DURR BAR'?

Sorry, can't help with that one, but could be steel reinforcing bar???

5. What is 'RHS'?

Rolled Hollow Section

(I could probably have found out 3,4 & 5 by bothering my arse to search the
net, but hey...)

Well, there you go.
