10 pcs HEA 100 cost 887 kr each in six-meter lengths. It's probably excluding VAT.
But maybe someone technically knowledgeable here has a better idea?

Then it's not so bad, it will be about 11,000 kr for 10 pcs INCLUDING VAT. But cutting to 5-meter lengths probably costs a bit, because you can't cut it yourself?KnockOnWood said:
Surely it's much cheaper to cast new plinths or use the concrete blocks, but this option might be the easiest?
Why cut it at all?
It can be good to have a one-meter flat surface on the backside to place outdoor furniture, a grill, fishing rods, and other things on
Otherwise, a grinder should work fine.

The first thought that struck me was to lift about 5 mm and then insert a sheet of suitable size, like 40x40cm, about 3-5mm thick, to distribute the pressure with minimal impact on the building. If it has been like this since the 80s without problems, using I-beams feels like overkill.
Or bolt down a beam, like 45 x 225 pressure, into the plinths. As mentioned, the cottage has been standing since the 80s, it'll probably stand for a while longer. It's hardly the case that the house has moved; otherwise, all the plinths would be crooked. Probably a mistake from the start.
