Thumbs up Engr Kay. Nice building tips to learn from I must say.
However, a few thoughts in my mind;

1. Sir, don't you think the block pillars are too large for a building this size? (Most noticeable, are the ones on the 'stand-alone' unit). Both in terms of their aesthetics and function, they appear a kind of oversized.

2. Hope that is not a drain hole directly above the kitchen window, if so can be moved to the side.

3. Are the four weight-bearing pillars and walls standing on just that slim blinding, good to go long term? Just thinking of a full water tank in rainy seasons when the soil underneath is always moist and soft.
Hope, that part of the building wouldn't gradually sink in few inches over time, resulting in wall cracks.

However, thank you for sharing this nice job and knowledge here, and kindly correct any wrong impression of mine.

Ans- literally,Those pillars are there to bring out the beauty of the house and the bigger it's,the very best to enhance the beautifulness of the house in the eyes of the looker. However,each pillar is 25"/25" which in my own sense is moderate.

2. Hope that is not a drain hole directly above the kitchen window, if so can be moved to the side.

Ans-The first drain hole at kitchen window is for water escape when the storex tank is full.we'll channel the water to the pipe later on, we're still at work,not yet through with the building.

3. Are the four weight-bearing pillars and walls standing on just that slim blinding, good to go long term? Just thinking of a full water tank in rainy seasons when the soil underneath is always moist and soft.
Hope, that part of the building wouldn't gradually sink in few inches over time, resulting in wall cracks.

Ans- They're very good to go, they're binding with beams.ordinary 9" blocks walls without pillars reinforcements do carry the storex tank talk more of reinforcing each angles with pillars.

However, thank you for sharing this nice job and knowledge here, and kindly correct any wrong impression of mine.
You're welcome.keep following.

The entrance doors(imported) I bought 6months ago are not strong at all cos I went for the lowest price,i bought it 25k around March,but lot of complaints from the onlookers and intending Tenants, so I've to change only the panel doors with local doors by making use of the former doors frame(imported) and mdf board
