hi all, im not sure if this is the right place to put my question. i want to change my double bricked double garage with 2 separate doors separated by a brick column into one single large door of length 5.30m. my garage is situated beneath a concrete balcony so i was just wondering what size lintel should i use to support the double brick wall and the concrete balcony???

thx

I don't know.....but I guarantee you based on the information you provided, no one else here does either ! :D

Were I you, I'd be contacting a local architect or structural engineer.

Definitely need an engineer, especially with a balcony involved. It will be a real challenge if the balcony is catilevered.
