Beams and pillars should not be touched as they are providing support and strength to the structure and alternation in these could prove dangerous.

if the electrician have cut any iron rod then you need to get it inspected immediately by the architect or structual engineer approved by the municipal corporation so that no problem arises in the future. since it is half inch only, i preseume no damage has been caused to the structure as such. Anyways ask the electrician to install the main box on the wall only.
