To all the builders/ Construction Engineers, a friend of mine is building a 14 storey Hotel in Calabar but has only built up to the 10th floor without using a crane. The workers are afraid of continuing beyond that height, and it has been difficult to haul up blocks and building materials any further. Hence, the construction has been temporally stopped.

My question is, is it feasible to continue putting up more floors without using a crane? What's the technique for hauling up the building materials for decking the floors from the 10th floor ( if at all it is possible) ?

Thanks

The workers really tried to get there and as it stands they can't continue any more and there is no other technique apart from using crane.

I remember that when Winners Chapel built a 7 storey block at their Iyana Ipaja location most volunteers were hanging by the sides if the building hauling up building materials without using a crane and it was successful.
