I have a question: How do you make provision for a staircase during the construction of the sub structure? Or perhaps a better question is to ask at what stage is provision made for a staircase and its various elements in a building construction? |

joseph1013: You provide for the starter bar of the stair (which also serves as the support reinforcement for stair other than cantilever and spiral stair) At the DPC level or ground floor slab level or ground floor level for stair carrying a very high load. here is a picture to help buttress my point better 1 Like

abdulwastecx:Thanks. This was helpful. Let me ask: After the concrete casting of the ground beam, how long before the removal of the formwork? |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 5:36pm On Jun 12, 2017 |

abdulwastecx:What about for DPC casting and decking? |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by podosci(m): 2:17pm On Jun 14, 2017 |
joseph1013:It takes 28days for concrete to gain approx 99% of its strength in which case the concrete can convincingly carry its own weight and imposed load. it's safe to remove the formwork after 28days. Generally for concrete members, it's safe to remove the soffit (underside) after 28days while you remove the vertical sides after 24hrs. 2 Likes |

Hi Abdul, the build is going great, please can you share the quantity of woods each you use for this build and the kingpost? kindly share where you got the wood as well. I also noticed you didnt use solignum on the wood any reason for that? |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 5:02am On Jun 15, 2017 |
jossy26: Height of kingpost is 4m We bought about 500 pieces of 2 x 4 About 50 pieces of 2 x 6 About 450 pieces of 2 x 3. The 2 x 4 and 2 x 6 wood is called AYIN (APUNTU), very hardwood that don't need treatment. We applied solignum with kerosene, instead of using condemned oil. We bought the wood from Ibadan |

abdulwastecx:Thanks. Talking about blocks, I noticed when I traveled to Uyo that solid blocks are preferred, whereas in other places hollow blocks are the mainstay. What's the difference and how do each affect structures? |

Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 11:44am On Jun 19, 2017 |
johnson232: I prefer 9'' hollow blocks for my bungalow |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by johnson232: 11:48am On Jun 19, 2017 |
abdulwastecx:Nice...but in a case whereby one can't afford 9" hollow block & decide to opt for 6". Which would u recommend for a bungalow, 6"solid or hollow block? |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by abdulwastecx(m): 4:36pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
johnson232: I will go with 6'' hollow |
Re: Construction Of Fourbedroom Duplex And Two Unit Of Two Bedroom Flat @ Isheriopic by mufutau55(m): 4:54pm On Jun 19, 2017 |
johnson232: Check Abdul's message above... He knows well more than I do, of course... But what I did was to use 9" hollow for the outer external walls while I use 6" hollow for the inside partitions. Hope you can afford that. Hajji M. 1 Like |
