Yem0350: It won’t unless if the bore hole is not properly done. More so make sure the pump panel is well kept |

I am about wiring my house and the cost I got from the electricians brought so far is indeed alarming. the total number coil of wire given to me for a 5 bedroom is up to 17 coils and someone told me it shouldn't be more than 12 coils. The different wires are 2.5mm, 1.5mm and 10 mm. So experts in the house what is the rough estimate. The house is 60 feet by 30. Thanks |

Hello experts in the house, good morning to you all. So I am building a 4 unit of 2 bedroom flats, 2 flats up and 2 flat down. The decking is completed and i am now planning to start the first floor block setting, I a bit to cut cost and not compromise quality, by engineer has requested not to do a complete lintel chaining on this first floor but I did a complete lintel chaining for the ground floor. My question is, will not chaining all the lintel together on the first floor affect the structure or load bearing capability of the building? Please your input will be much appreciated. 2 Likes 1 Share

Omonjoe:U can use 5 inches block, but preferably is 6 inches block for bungalows. If u are molding more than 3000, u can make d remaining ones 6 inches, which will be used for external walls & d 5 inches for internal. Try to use columns on the edges too if u can but not compulsory |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by Rubbiish(m): 4:53pm On Dec 11, 2019 |
Takoro13:When u say the cracks did not get to the foundation blocks, does it end at the German floor? See if u can post pics for better clarification |

The kind of stories one reads here... there are way too many quacks out there in the name of "engineer" practicing in this industry. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by diordaves(m): 12:07am On Dec 12, 2019 |
Takoro13: Try post pictures but if the cracks are occuring by the windows as you said, it may be your lintel work. Your lintel might be too short that is if you've done the lintel. Post the pictures for a better diagnosis. |

Hello nairalanders, good morning. Please something has been troubling my mind. I'm currently constructing a three bedroom bungalow with concrete fascia ( parapet). The seasoned engineer handling the project refused to include any pillars on the foundation, saying there is no need. For the past 2 hours I have been going through different pages of several projects here on this section of nairaland and I cannot say I'm not scared my foundation is without any form of pillars. I don't know if it's because he used 9" blocks on all outside walls. Please I don't want my house to collapse. Please kindly let me know if there is anything I can still do. Or if the pillars can at this point be included. I'm scared please. I just filled the foundation with sand. That's the stage the project is at currently.

vboss: something is wrong already - even without columns (THIS MIGHT COLLAPSE) See link for reason >> https://www.nairaland.com/5002180/what-did-he-wrong-why at this stage, your structure looks just like his....... (NOTE: not having columns is not the issue yet, thats another) |

saydfact: Thanks for bringing this back here, the situation was terrible then, after the client contacted me and we reconstructed the foundation for the client. Today the client is a happy man. The pics of the foundation before we moved in then.

vboss: MY ADVISE: 1. Add columns at key points / junction (lol at junctions) 2. Do a beam all round at this stage (b4 german floor), to tie the structure together 3. Do a German floor even if the thickness is 100mm Goodluck 1 Like |
