I hop i av answered ur question well

Is it wrong to use 6" for both external walls and internal partitions?
Re: Construction Of A Three Bedroom Flat In Uyo by jp130(m): 10:03pm On Mar 25, 2020
That would depend on if u already have some materials like blocks, sand, granite, n cements like i had. I only had to pay for labour n used seven bags to mould additional 6" blocks.

Here is d tips i used:
1. I got materials on ground, blocks, sand, granite n cement. I only paid for labour n water

Not at all, it is just that down here engineers use 5" blocks for bungalows n 6" or 9 for high rise buidings.
I decided to use 6" for external because i will b using casement wit buglar embedded wic will flush well in 6" than 5". I intend to av overhead tank above where d kitchen is.
