Remove posts under previous joddlars balcony, replace with steel beam?

[Eraijka]

Hello!
Fairly new homeowner of a classic 70s villa in one and a half stories. The previous yodeling balcony has been extended, and underneath there's a patio. Is it possible to somehow remove the poles underneath and replace them with some form of beam and how significant would this intervention be? Another option could be a combo with a beam and only a centered pole? The picture is a bit unclear, but pole number two is right behind the juniper. Gratefully accepting thoughts on this!

When the distance between the spans (pillars) for the beam becomes longer, the beam needs to be higher. Only you can know if someone will then risk hitting their head on the beam. You need to hire a structural engineer for inspection and calculations. Changes to load-bearing structures must be reported to the municipality.

Hi!
Recently became a house owner of a classic 70s villa with one and a half stories. The previous joddlarbalkong has been extended and underneath there is a patio. Is it possible to remove the posts underneath and replace them with some form of beam, and how major would this intervention be? Another option could be a combination with a beam and only a centered post? The picture isn't very clear, but the second post is right behind the juniper. Gratefully appreciate thoughts on this!

It doesn't have to be so high that you hit your head on the beam with a steel beam, but a structural engineer needs to calculate that..
It’s no problem to install a beam supported by the masonry walls and a post in the middle; it's just a question of how large/high the beam needs to be..
