head beam is necessary but not a a must have...if you can afford it its better to have head beam atleast on the exterior wall.
these are the functions of head beam
1. it help to receive the roof truss, especially in winding area
2. it serve as ring beam to tie the building at the roof level, this helo to avoid cracking due to excessive loading on the walls.
Thanks & God bless for the response sir. But can one also use headbeam for steel roofing?(Lattice) Or it's both combination of headbeam & columns? Pls what is the difference btw sancrete & vibrated blocks? Thanks.

You can use head beam for steel roof. Its always better for the steel truss to be placed ontop of the columns direct because if place out of column position it will create or constitutes point load which will increase the bending and shear on the head beam.

The arrangement should be done by the structural engineers at the designing stage....It is better to project reinforcement from the column out of the head beam to serve as the connector (connect roof truss to the building), when the roof truss fall on the beam directly a shear connector is placed on the roof beam before casting.

sancrete block is a vibrated block (mainly hollow) produced from the combination of cement and fine aggregates (sand). it is sancrete because of the absence of coarse aggregates (gravel, granite etc). sancrete is produced with a mix ratio of 1:8 and with a compressive strength of between 0.5-4N/mm2.

Sir will reinforced concrete of 12mm rod placed on the four corners of a four bedroom bungalow without placing it on all the exterior wall joint be able to carry concrete fascia? Using a mix ratio of 1:2:4. Thanks.

that is the best three bedroom floor plan i have ever seen, excellent use of space. ur truely gifted and skilled. let's continue with the analysis but please use more of layman's language,
But ventilation is seriously compromised. Check the living room and the rooms. No cross ventilation. Remember this is Nigeria where constant electricity is a challenge.

Everyone needs to slow down on the criticisms. In the U.S! Seriously! My laundry is right after my kitchen. I'll show you many 6 and 7 bedroom homes, with two living rooms with that same pattern. The Plan in my opinion, needs the living room closer to the kitchen and ventilation system in the masters bathroom. Since there's no steady electricity supply in Nigeria, that might mean a window.
This young man is open hearted; let's not try only see flaws in his work without appreciating his creativity. There's no such thing as impeccable/ perfect, except for fissions.

The house that I had built for me by one of the top custom home builders in Texas in 2000 had the laundry room off of the kitchen.

1. 1 wheel barrow @ N1500/nr = N15,000
2. 5 head pan and shovel @ N800/nr = N10,000
3. Builders square, lines, bucket etc = N6,000
Total = N31,000

sinking of bore hole may be capital intensive depending on the location of the building. Here in south south ( Rivers), the water table in shallow nd hand drilling can be employed. A depth of about 10m will guarantee adequate supply of water for the project.
Note that the bore hole will be useful after the completion of the house since only an overhead tank will be required

10m depth is about 33feet. Considering there will be soakaway as deep as about 10 to 15 feet shouldn't the bore hole depth be more?

Also does one wheel barrow cost N1500? I thought it is more than that?

I haven't come across a soak away with such dept....
The recommendation is based on rivers state relative high water content, where the water level is relatively closer to the ground.

wheel barrow cost between N7,000 - N12,000
