yinkaoke: the Size i quoted is the total size of the soakaway. based on your usage, you can liaise with the bricklayer to divide it for you. |

Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Dubemcapital1(m): 5:35am On Nov 22, 2019 |
Nozzle: Sorry for the late response, make sure you have a cross beam reinforced with 16mm not on the walls, so it must have columns then the slab should be 12mm /5inches interval spacing. e.g of what I mean: Dubemcapital

Greetings to the house Please which is better between doing a chain lintel or roof beam for bungalow? I intend to use columns, i am considering doing short lintels and doing a roof beam or to do chain lintel and leave the room beam, please which would u advice? Thanks Cc saydfact bixton Dubemcapital1 and other great experts |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Nobody: 10:31am On Nov 22, 2019 |
klark3:I am in similar position and need experts advice Is it proper to terminate the columns at the chained lintel level or it is compulsory to do a roof beam to terminate the columns? because my builder is suggesting we can terminate it at lintel level and leave roof beam to save cost. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 10:55am On Nov 22, 2019 |
klark3: There are several reasons for doing a roof beam but given cost cutting ............. Option 1.... Do chain lintel on external walls and on any major wall cutting the building if there is. You can do short lintel on internal walls. Option 2..... Do chain lintel on all internal and external walls of the building. N/B: Due to clips used in holding the wall plate onto the wall, please kindly inform your engineer/builder, carpenter to liaise with the iron bender to cut quarter rods(it has different thickness) of appropriate length to be fastened unto the lintel before you pour your concrete. Ensure the length cut is sufficient depending on number of blocks you intend putting after the lintel works. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by tevanso(m): 11:12am On Nov 22, 2019 |
bixton:what is your reason for chaining internal walls |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by klark3: 11:17am On Nov 22, 2019 |
bixton:Thanks for ur reply So much appreciate But what about the pillars like someone who quoted me stated. Can i terminate them at chain lintel level or the can be taken to roof level without the roof beam? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by tevanso(m): 11:26am On Nov 22, 2019 |
klark3:leave the pillar till roof beam . you can do short lintel and do roof beam. It is the roof beam that will transfer the load of the roof to the foundation. 1 Like |

In case you do not know, port operations and development are shifting from Apapa to Ibeju Lekki because a Chinese bank just granted Lekki Ports the sum of $620M to develop the lekki deep sea port. That's why you need to invest your N1.5M in buying just a plot of land at Ibeju Lekki. By nest year, the plot of land will appreciate by 100%. Click on the second link on my signature for details. |

tevanso: **Because of over zealous engineers/builders/artisans once there's a crack on the wall they will attribute it to the impartial chaining of lintel. ** It reduces clients fear in circumstances when there is need to modify the structure(breaking of walls or recreating something else). ** The chaining of internal walls acts like an opposing force that balances that on the external walls when all are properly linked. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 1:33pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
klark3: There's no need to terminate. Just take them to roof level. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by klark3: 1:35pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
bixton:Even without a roof beam? |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 1:38pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
klark3: Yes. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by klark3: 1:42pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
bixton:Thanks so much But as a professional which would u advice, doing short lintel and roof beam Or doing chain lintel without roof beam? As i am yet to do it Sorry for d too much questions |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by bixton(m): 1:46pm On Nov 22, 2019 |
klark3: If you have the funds, do complete chain lintel with roof beam. |
