Great Nairalanders Builders,

Please I needed proffessional advice in closing / putting a slab over a void over the sitting room in the duplex I am putting together, the positioning and the size of the void has defeat it purpose and evrybody seeing the void has been complaining about the void not decent.

The size of the void is 1.8m X 1.6m, during the iron structure for the slab (decking) there were beams surrounding the void, a serious iron weaving was done around the void, hence we intended to support the slab (decking) around the void, break up the slab till we reach the iron beams / iron weaving around the void, then using combination of 16mm and 12mm rod attached to the exposed iron rods make iron weaving / structure over the void and slab (deck) it out.

What is your professional opinion on this, do you think this will come out right with this measure we want to take if not please share your opinion on what you think will be the best approach to close up the void as we just have to find solution as the owner wants.

Thanking you for all the advice in advance.
