Hello Guys, Good Morning and Happy new year..
Please am new in here and I need some tips and advice on what to do..

I purchased a plot of land last year measured 100ft by 100ft.. I did all settlement and started putting in trips of Sand upto 10times . ( the normal trailer size called double/two in one tipper)..

The plan was to build a 4 Bedroom Bungalow with sitting room dinnerroom and all..
But when I started molding the blocks there the person who was watching over it convinced me that 5inchs solid kind of blocks is okay to raise such a building because I wasn’t at the country.. but now from the videos and pictures I see everywhere, it seems like what engineers actually use for such building is a 9inch Hollow blocks..

So I got to talk to an engineer yesterday night on the phone and he told me that we could start molding 6inch solid and use it for the surrounding walls then use the previous 5inch for the inner demarcation walls..
Please guys with experience, what’s your take on this??

Secondly is 6inch solid a good substitute for 9inch hollow blocks??
P.S I intend to do a Parapet on it and won’t the weight be too much??

And do anyone has a good modern 4bedroom bungalow plan , can you please notify me ??

Thanks guys for taking out time to read through,, I will be looking forward to your responses ����,

Happy New Year �

Happy New Year Vission2020...

1st. 5inches solid is not OK as the engineer advised.

2nd. YES, 6 inches solid can stand for 9 inches hollow.

3rd. I'll advice you consider strategic column position to carry the concrete parapet.

Lastly... Not all internal wall would be 5 inches also, some partition walls should also be 6 inches to aid the weight of the roof. While 5 inches goes to toilet walls and partition walls close to 6 inches load bearing walls.

Goodluck.

On the 4 bedroom design, you can send me a WhatsApp message using the WhatsApp link in my signature.

Welcome “vision 2020” into year 2020.

Now to your questions.
Your engineer is right by saying he will use 6” solid sandcrete block for the surrounding walls and 5 solid sandcrete block for the inner partitions wall.

But in modern construct now most builder and engr usually used 9” sandcrete hollow block for most building because.

1. It’s very strong to withstand load.
2. It can accommodate any features design such as (conduit plumbing piping system, Ac waste connection pipes and many more.
3. When it’s comes to windows installation with burglary proof, independent mosquito net, 9” block do give more space to achieve all these.
4. Many doors now comes in 9” (although it’s optional).

Lastly ask your builder, engr to introduce columns and roof beam into the building since you are proposed to do concrete facia.

This is my little advice as a BUILDER.
Thanks
Happy new year to you.

What your engineer said is okay
He should also include columns in addition to support the parapet.
