I have a large basement space that I would like to open up. It's around 5'10 high, but has brick supports holding the house up. What I would like to do is replace the brick supports with beams. This would allow me to make better use of this space. I am happy to get rid of the front and back brick supports and keep the middle ones if this helps. It would be such a useful space if the brick supports were not in the way. I am unsure how much work is involved, and how much it would cost. Any help would be appreciated. Craig.
