I wonder why some people shy away from doing a beam since there is no fund for parapet.
A beam before the roofing is very useful, one benefit is that it prevents cracks from that axis.
I stand to be corrected though.

Someone once said if there is a roof beam, there wouldn't be need for wall plate....how true is this sir?

tevanso:

Okay sir

There must be wall plate cos how do u expect the rafter to stay without a wall plate.

Which means even with a roof beam, no roofing member should be excluded...from wall plate, tie beam to rafter...So the beam is just to carry d roof load?

But most clients wouldn't want to do it, they see it as waste of funds....

You are very correct at the bolded.
If my clients don't have money for parapet, I compulsory them to do a roof beam.

So doing a roof beam also make it kind of compulsory to use columns on the edges, even if it s a bungalow?
But it is really not easy to convince some people to do these things, especially when they are building for commercial use...

Thanks all for ur input, this particular client is trying by all means to reduce the cost of this building so telling him to do roof beam is like a wasting of effort and time cos he will tell U he didn't do that in his first building and it is still standing till date .I wish clients will come to understand that no part of Building elements is not necessary.

Hello people.

I will like to have some inputs and advice concerning my situation. 

I have just completed the foundation for my twin flats (2bed and 1bedroom) and I'm about to take a decision on the German flooring. 

Due to cost constraints I have at the moment, I'm forced to think of other options that will possibly achieve the same end results. 

Instead of German flooring, I'm considering a 150mm thick concrete layer on the blocks alone throughout the entire foundation. I'm of the opinion that this option will stop ingress of moisture from the soil to the superstructure, prevent insects and rodents from moving through the soil to the roof, offer some sort of atabilizatin for the building and of course drastically reduce the cost associaTed with filling the entire foundation with concrete.

I'll like that you please look into my idea and advise me based on your experience.

Thanks in advance
