EgunMogaji2:


These millions of bungalows that you’ve seen with no single pillar, how many carried a parrapet?

Of course you can build bungalows without pillars, I have four.

We let you see the transformation.
Before and after...
Feels good to give quality to a government project of what it didn't have before...

The power to do good is in our hands as Nigerians. Irrespective of the nature of what we do to serve humanity through our various medium/platforms.

If government project can be transformed to this for government at no cost from government.

Read through step by step process of this transformation here...

Against the counsel of N3xt & the house I didnt do pillars(sad face)

My foundation concrete was 3" thick

Foundation depth 1ft 6"(hard soil)

Mortar mixture used 1bag of cement, 12heapan of sharp sand ( please is this good enough?)

For the concrete. 1bag of cement, 8 headpan of sharp sand and 7headpan of granite( is this Ok too?)

4 coaches has been achieved and the surrounding roads are lower than the estate. Next stage is filling and German Floor

I have insisted on the german floor, I am being pressed to continue building and do that later

The area is not water logged, please what advantage does the German floor have and why should I do it?

GoodFaith:


You need the German floor done before your continue building
If the building is having problem Like line coming down from the wall (wall crack )
It will not go always to you foundation
If you don't do German floor it will crack always to your foundation

My dilemma is that all these people advising did not see where lintel was done halfway, only the windows carry lintel.
There are millions of bungalow with no single pillars and it has not fallen.

I am not a builder but I have seen so many and my bungalow with no pillars but 9 inch vibrated blocks.

segzy14:




I did a project for a client with no single column and no parapet, we did a roof beam and used 6inches blocks all through.
The building is about 6years old now.

KolaShangOne:


Do whatever you can to get rid of them before roofing. I roofed a site with a termite behind the fence. Those guys finished the treated wood I used to roof the gatehouse. We treated it 2-3 times but they kept coming back.

idrisfuta:

Is it possible if this roof beam was to have a parapet(concrete fascia) attached to it would there have been some sort of failure at that section of the build?

Yes. There must be columns at least at the four corners of the building when constructing the concrete fascia(parapet).
