Expenses keeps increasing unexpectedly, increase in work man money, but the grace of God has been helping me through.
The DPC will be high because of the slope in the area, so I will carry out double chaining on the edge with the highest numbers of blocks, then thr others single chaining.

Explain what you mean by double chain sr

Takoro13:

Explain what you mean by double chain sr

The DPC will be about 10 blocks from the right side foundation because of the slope
And it only affects that edge of the building which will take the 10 blocks, so after 5 blocks we will do a DPC casting for that angle to the two edge pillars then we will add 4 more blocks on the top then do a general DPC casting which will go round the building before raising it to lintel level

Today we were able to raise the four corners of the 3 bedroom flat to the required DPC. After we are done with the 3 bedroom we will focus on the room and parlor self contain.

The land is sloped two sidedly so it's a bit difficult to get my desired DPC. and it will take up to 9 blocks to get my DPC from the very sloped side. But by the grace of God we will get there and do the German floor, So we will get a flat floor.

Good work bros, I want to beg you to take good considerations on the pillars as the foundation is too high. Either you use double wall or pillars at close points.

God with you. I still de rest on my own

I am considering using 13 pillars
Then I will chain the building round, the side with the nine block will take 3 pillars with two times chaining one at 5th blocks, the other at 9th block to meet with the general chaining.

see you

joshuachuks:
By the grace of God I have been able to learn from many guys here in nairaland, going through the comment section and the proper explanation of spyder880, century106 I decided to take the risk of supervising my project my self although I am an engineer by profession but with little experience.
After I followed mr century's topic then eventually met mr spyder880 works I learnt a lot because he takes his time to explain every bit of process to us.
So I will start by uploading the floor plan followed by the picture of the land which is being cleared now.
I am opened to advise, criticism and corrections.

No problem. God with you

Amen

Laying of blocks was done today to get the whole DPC. wasn't funny though I encountered some mistakes which the first block layers made and was able to correct some and the others will be corrected while chaining the whole house and on the German floor thickness.
