Hi Bro, welldone for all the hard work.

Question about the parapet, is there any reason you didnt make use of the steel parapet you discussed on your blog?

do you have any example of where this has been put to use?

I have roofed two buildings with Korean roofing tiles in the past 5 years, interestingly, they still retain their black color. Ebonyi and Owerri, AYACO roofing tiles.

With the roof wood work advanced, I called in the plaster guys to commence work on my parapet.......... this must be extra smooth guys!

The lines are razor sharp...........

I simply love the umbrella effect of this parapet design, not too high but still stands out.

Yes you can use 12mm iron rods for decking, but make sure it is according to the specifications in your building plans. There is a column in the building plan document where such details are broken down for interpretation.

thank you. attached here is my building plan and i have started the foundation i'm at filling level i will send the picture when i visit the site. i know stop the work because i need iron rod extentiin before laying the germen floor . the sructure has 25 pillars with 16mm iron rod and now i dont have enough money can i continue with 12mm iton rod ? since i use 16mm for fondation. i mean the pillars in d first floor, second floor up to the roofing level. i cant cintinue with 16mm because of d stiuation of our economy.

Then stop until you can safely continue.

It's not a God given right to have a duplex.

You need just 34 rods of Y16 for the 25 pillars... is that too much compared to how much you have spent on your building?
For 25 pillars, you need 100 pieces (4 x 25=100) and one rod is about 39ft and can be cut into three pieces so 100/3=33.33 which translate to 34 rods... Pillars are very essential in building... even it helps in bungalow too.. but highly needed in Duplex.. so save yourself some future headache and use the recommended Y16... the cost difference between Y16 and Y12 is not that great anyway.. Top pillars help stabilize your upper floor and the blockwork.

I don't blame you for trying to cross-check o.

I am just trying to figure out the price per square meter... I am also at your level... as you remembered.

Oga Spyder, I dey enjoy u oo from d beginning to where u are now.

Of a duplex building at decking stage, instead of German floor on d foundation level, 9" block beams has been made on the block paths with reinforcement (like lintels). What can be done? Can we continue building?

Thanks

The best thing to do is to let a building professional physically inspect the site and then give recommendations .

The roofing tiles guys are planning to spoil the party, they are raising prices on me.

Oga Spyder, is it normal/okay for kitchen window to start at 5 coach instead of 4 coach sin the other windows?

Uma take a hundred pictures but none or few of the back of your house so I couldn't stalk it

Prof. and all in the house, I have decided to take the bull by the horn, started on the journey to owning a retirement/holiday home in my village following inspirations from Prof's and other threads here in the property section of nairaland.
To that effect I have created the thread below.

https://www.nairaland.com/2953063/applying-lessons-nairaland-micro-manage-building#43198443

Your contributions, ideas, guides, are highly welcomed there as I embark on this journey with great optimism bearing in mind that you guys out here will support all the way.
