I think you answered your own question there. You could certainly use temporary shoring, to transfer the loads from the column you want to take out, then rebuild, steel column on a footing, might save a little labor, make sure you check and coordinate the elevations, footing below new slab or isolation joint around the footing if top of footing is to be same as top of slab elevation. That certainly is quite a bit of work after the house is up, one of the reasons I always tell people to think and plan out first, because doing it later is always more work and costly.

I'd be knocking a hole in that foundation and be digging my way in, unless it were sand, cannot imagine doing it by hand, but I'll bet theres a lot of homes in this country where that was done. That 3D model and the floor plan is a nice tool, is that a simple software to use ? Makes a nice tool for figuring things out.
