If you mean the floor slab, you need to bypass this and put a concrete foot below ground, this transfers and spreads the forces to a hard substrate

Mush, I'll happily build you a pillar mate, as far as cost it wouldnt be a great deal, well in england anyway on mates rates, cant speak for spainish materials. My fee would be extremely lo

You might go to £2000 now, difficult to cost over the web and with the country difference

So we know the existing bearings are ok. So its a beam swap incorporating the new pillar, straight forward job on the surface. One question, what is the existing floor? will need to break through this to concrete new footing for the pillar

Ollie concrete mate.

 

Fox.. architect gets all the plans drawn up and permissions here. Then I choose who I want to do the work. As for the regs, I couldn't give two shits about the regs here... I want a proper job done lol so it'll be done to British regs by whoever does it ;)

Regs is not only about red tape .It's the house owners guarantee the work is carried out to spec and the builders guarantee he's doing it right .Building control oversee every construction step .

Very true

At least a metre deep here ,800mm square, blocks flat to dpc .

On top of an already existing concrete base? Is that needed?

easy job but 8 mtrs span even with minimal loading above would require a big beam,here anyway,at least 152x203,but we would have structural engineers drawings to follow.assuming bearings are firm,or you dig 1000mmx1000mmx1000mm founds and put class b engineering brick piers or metal posts then bolt top beam on these.called goalvposts set up.i done thoosands of them.you csn use a small beam if not under any regs,and pre load the shit out of it.

The failed support beam to me is a symptom of something further below on that build than the beam itself , they can't just sink on there own ,

Without a structural report , your guessing

Cheap shit sandy concrete is the reason given, not guessing here... it's the norm in Spain ;)
