is it less expensive to go with a tiled roof or use concrete slab? I like the look of flat roofs, but I think it’s less expensive to use a tiled roof. Is it possible to use a tiled roof on a slighted sloped void? I think this will give the look of a flat roof but will use tiled. Easier to maintain and longer lasting. |
Re: Construction Of 6self-contain Hostel Frm Start To Finish With Cost Saving Advice by saydfact(m): 8:57am On Sep 27, 2019 |
AyeMaDaFunMi: Concrete roofs are more expensive and have a higher maintenance need/cost... if the slope isn't high enough, tiled roof isnt advisable - stick with long span. thanks |

saydfact: I want to say a very big thank you to you. I went through the whole thread and it's educative. My question is about the precast lintel. 1. What's the details of the reinforcements in it? 2. I read where you replied someone that the thickness of the lintel is 100mm, but the wall it'd bridge is 225mm, is it the plastering that will make up for the rest the lintel thickness? Thanks. |
Re: Construction Of 6self-contain Hostel Frm Start To Finish With Cost Saving Advice by saydfact(m): 6:53am On Apr 17, 2020 |
Lefty500: Morning and thanks for following my threads. No1. Thickness of Reinforcement is 12mm or 16mm (if you have offcuts on site) No2. Thickness is 100mm but width is 150mm or 225mm depending on the width of the block used. You're mistaken width for thickness... Regards |
Re: Construction Of 6self-contain Hostel Frm Start To Finish With Cost Saving Advice by Lefty500: 10:08am On Apr 17, 2020 |
saydfact: Okay I get your point now, your thickness means height, so may I ask why you used height of 100mm, because if you do insitu lintel, you give it the height of the of the hollow block that will chain with it? |
Re: Construction Of 6self-contain Hostel Frm Start To Finish With Cost Saving Advice by saydfact(m): 4:05pm On Apr 18, 2020 |
Lefty500: Thanks.. That's an intelligent question. The resin why 100mm is used is because if 225 is used, it becomes to heavy to lift up and could be risky to workers who try to. In the case of insitu 225mm is used to prevent breaking blocks to meet up like we do in Precast. It means 100mm is sufficient even in insitu but easier to do 225mm and avoid breaking blocks to meet up. Thanks sir 1 Like |

saydfact: I stumbled upon this YouTube video while looking for something else. Their use of lintels is consistent with your application. Also, the blocks in the corners perfectly describe what I asked in a previous question. No column post, but blocks interlocking at the corners. youtu.be/GPkqId3D8pU

oduncojamaica: Great to know - Thanks for the kind words... Don't reduce cost by using lesser materials eg 10mm instead of 12mm, 4 bags of cement instead of 6 bags ETC ETC. Rather, find acceptable ways to cut down on labour cost. GOODLUCK |

Hi @saydfact what is the dimension of this septic tank/soak away? author=saydfact post=61687302]Isn't this a beauty? There's nothing better than doing your German floor - now, we're out of the ground and ready to build.. we left the bore-hole pipe still long, to be cut down later.... [/quote] |
Re: Construction Of 6self-contain Hostel Frm Start To Finish With Cost Saving Advice by saydfact(m): 8:43pm On Apr 30, 2022 |
okeyfermod: Hi.. Sorry, I'm a bit late. Hope you've sorted it out.. If not, sizes of septic tank depends on the space left on your land and the projected usage. Thanks |
