Decking slab reinforcement ongoing. .......

Yep. That is clearly understood. The door needs space to slide into.

Regarding the thickness of the wall, it definitely doesn't need to be 14" thick and blocks won't be used for that section of wall. One can use bricks with enough space in between them for the door. I've seen bricks as slim as 100mm.

I think you can achieve that even without the bricks,
You can use wood/board to create void for the pocket door to slide in.

The madam wanted an open concept floor plan, but I would like to be able to close some areas off from viewing at times (depending on the visitor). For this, we will use pocket doors.

EgunMogaji:


Cool, you build partitions in offices .

We are talking about residential homes here where security and privacy are paramount.

EgunMogaji:


What's possible and what's common are two different things in the Nigerian building arena.

I don't see too many people building walls out of other than concrete blocks in Nigeria.

EgunMogaji:
Someone also spoke about pocket doors. Not sure how one can introduce that into our concrete block builds. It's possible alright but that mean at least 14" minimum walls

My solution is barn doors.

Is the 3rd door in your post a pocket door? I'm looking to have some custom made in the near future.

@koman

I was hoping you open a thread for your local made doors or other doors you may have.

Could you please show some custom made doors you made in the past?

Planning the decking already. ......

I have the same height problem for my door ways.

Did you make the doors you attached here?

spyder880:


This might pose a small problem. I have spoken to the architect and he confirmed it's his design. I also consulted the owner of this house on this.

However, I have seen some doors as high as 2.4 meters in Nigeria before.

For plumbers in the house, is there any other alternative you know to the toilet chamber? http://amazingviewpoints..com/

plasgidy:


Koman, pls can you show us how the u cover for the drain pipes looks like, thanks

cmecproblem:

is there anything that can be done to rectify this after a building has been finished but the plastering and plumbing has not been done yet?

2sex:
I was speaking with a friend about embedded pipes in blocks, which I really loved, but he raised a disturbing issue. He said what if the pipes burst for any reason... That means one would have to break through the walls.


What do you have to say regarding this sir?

Work goes on. .....
