Yes I have read some of the thread but there’s still a whole lot to take in. I’ll keep reading. Your advice on damp proof is noted.

Also pillars at the corners & chained beam. I read somewhere here it’s good especially when parapet is intended to help balance the load so I’ll definitely go for it.

So if I get you clearly, to use pillars at the 4 corners of the house so 4 pillars entirely or to use at every corner in the structure?

Thanks for your help.

I did mine POD too with him (@hslbroker2) and I never had to worry about anything.

The only issue I have is my carpenter has been mad that I didn’t allow him to see the supplier because he want to tell him all his woods are bad

EgunMogaji2:


Nice one. I have a toner here somewhere.

twinskenny:
yes sir.. make tracing of cable easier

EgunMogaji2:




Erico2K2 please Sir, are you still in charge of writing names of troublemakers?

EgunMogaji2:


Pillars at least at the corners but a structural engineer is a best advice giver.

Nice but for the kitchen after relocating the door as you have indicated what pattern of cabinet arrangement do you propose? I feel that original door location is ok, it allows L shaped cabinet arrangement which is recommended, then no door for the loby let there be an opening with arc above to throw in soft light there, and allow users see if someone is coming out from the kitchen avoiding collision during movement, they can put a curtain there for privacy.

Are the hollow square pipes galvanised?

abuiltech:



All my takes are due to my inclination(MEP) I'm not an architect, you know it better, but safety wise do you think its ok, having kitchen and dining door the way it's? I stand to be corrected,


For the masters bedroom : as I said earlier all the bedroom toilets should be accessed from inside not outside, this means after moving the wardrobe, we are having centralised toilet door

Beams should not be concealed in a flat slab. Flat slabs are beamless. It's wrong if done. Ribbed slab yes in the ribs with considerable depth e.g the hollow pot type.

I need an expert door builder.

Not sure why I want custom doors.

Any idea of what I should do door wise?

Not keen on imported doors. Dunno why.

You can prevent snake, rodent, or roaches with the installation of flap valve or non return valve on your drainage line at the point of disposal, or discharged, these valves allow the flow in one direction while preventing the backflow, they are also serves as anti-flooding, for any of your storm drain,

'Hidden beams' in this context are small beams usually having the same depth as the solid slab. The term hidden [/b]is used because the beam is [b]concealed in the reinforced concrete solid slab.

The beam you described is the downstand beam placed on the sandcrete blocks. This is usually 450mm deep or more unlike the hidden 150mm beam.

Quite interesting to see this kind of discussion in a long time. My own little contribution. Theoretically, there is nothing like secret beam as far as I know, there is no structural analysis that support it in design (I am open for correction no man is an island of knowledge). Meanwhile if you ask me I also do it I once asked my boss under whom I had my tutelage about it and he said the purpose is to stiffened a ver wide slab to reduce tendencies of deflection. I took it in at that time but couldn't relate it with any theory but as learn more in the field I come to know that in waffle slab or hollow claypot slab we normally have strips of beams at a close intervals and such beams are imbeded in the slab. Since, then on my own I can justify the need for hidden/concealed beam in slabs. Nevertheless, if a slab has been design without hidden beam and the structural design is followed with best practices then there is no cause for alarm.
