House renovation

One of the jobs that i have recently been involved with is a house reno, this involved removing a fireplace and existing wall, opening the floor and installing an extra load bearing pile.
then the wall was reinstalled with a door where the fire place was, the walls were brought up to current bracing standards then relined them with bracing GiB.
we also removed a window and replaced it with a new aluminum unit.
