oduncojamaica: I did more research, M15 cement mortar is recommended because it contains the least fine aggregate aka plaster sand. I will share the research in a bit.

sonnie10:All the floors or rooms can still be covered when we want to do flooring as long as the foundation blocks have been covered |

oduncojamaica: Here is the update for you, and anyone else following This is another reason to buy or make the highest quality blocks that one can afford because in the end it boils down to how much water can it absorb and still hold/keep the house together.

damsamkoko: I commend the designer on his/her graphics. I will advise you introduce more windows on the blank walls in the lounge( I know you may be thinking of having a large TV niche there) and foyer to introduce more light and ventilation. Your zoning of the reading area is wrong. You can't position a reading area(private) having a strong relationship with a noisy area like the lounge. Secondly the reader may not concentrate as a result of the aroma of the nkwobi emanating from the kitchen. I will suggest you move the reading area to the first floor. Circulation is okay but fenestration is not too okay. |

QSFemi:I doubt if the "Architect" is a professional. An Architect can't act as a consultant as well as a contractor in the same project, it is unethical. The guy needs to be questioned. |

Technology in construction has changed a lot in recent years, there are a lot of materials. Now the largest cement manufacturer in the world is changing its concept and is starting to produce environmentally friendly cement. The United States cement market is also keeping up and new materials are available now. |

Patriot9: this is not as good as when you do the german floor before building the walls. If the soil is not competent, you will have cracks due to differential settling. |

Patriot9: That means it’s not German floor But I am wondering why you prefer all these cut and join, knowing fully well that the area is prone to capillary movement. 1 Like 1 Share |

At bolded, that means you're not considering the fact that there are many procurement routes in the construction industry. Design and Build is of of the methods of procurement whereby a consultant can also act as the contractor. UC92: |

UC92: Thank you for your observations. The reading area is actually not a reading area but a gaming area. Plan on having a ps5 and sofa there. The reading labelling was a mistake. 1 Like 1 Share |

QSFemi:Even for DandB projects an independent consultant should be engaged to checkmate interests. I say it again, it is unethical for an Architect to be a consultant as well as a contractor in the same project. You can't be a judge in your own case. |
