Hello,
I have received a construction proposal on which steel beam and pillars I should use to replace a 6m load-bearing wall and I wonder if anyone would like to do a sanity check on the proposal.
The proposal is:
HEB 200 S355N/NL, 6m. Pillars 2 pcs+2 pcs dimensions 45mm x 170mm x 2200mm C24.
I would like it to be a bit more robust.
Attached are drawings and a picture of where the replacement is to take place.

Seems reasonable. Considering that the beam replaces a wall, the deflection should be limited.

I also received the calculation, does it seem good in terms of robustness?
One question I have is why the influence is set to 3.25m? The beam is supposed to be 2.5m from the nearest outer wall, the house is 6.5m wide. Also, are the columns strong enough, I have space for 3 + 3, I assume it wouldn't hurt to have an extra column on each side of the steel beam?

I can't read the drawing thumbnails on the first image. The resolution is too poor. I would also need to see a section of the house to understand the context. But it might not be necessary. It's a solid beam. The deflection will be max L/435, i.e., 13.8 mm. Which is little in relation to the span. The columns are also sufficient. The load per column will be under 30 kN. No harm in using a third rule so that it looks substantial.
