Aventures:

Sir, some of us here has been in the field for about 2 decades and series of experiences and cost mgt. But please stop defending 112 block to a bag of cement it is poor job of highest order. The ideal standard is that you mortar must have same strength as your block and it has been establish as 50 blocks to a bag of cement on the average.
I agree with You sir. Concerning the 112blocks,let me break it down here,first;Due to the stable soil,We used 6inches concrete block throughout the Project,saves mortal compare to 9inches concrete block settings. Secondly; I always tell my Masons to always maintain 2.5cm(1" ) _4cm(1½inches) for bedding and spaces between two concrete blocks in a couch in other to save mortals.
Thirdly; my mortal mixing ratio for block settings is 1:8 16 headpan per bag.

Akerewe:


For the block settings, u mean 1:6 x 2 = 12 head pan of sand to 1 bag of cement in all

Yes, the mix ratio is vey simple my “BABA LATI bricklayer SON even know this …. More so if the sharp sand is lighter in nature , go for ratio 1:5= 10 head pan.

It’s good to follow due process, building supposed to last btw 70-100yrs or more

Flat roof in any shape or form will always not be my thing either structurally or aesthetically.

The attached photos are Money121 work. Beautifully and professionally done. However, look at the areas I've highlighted yellow, where the roof meet the wall. This is one of my concerns with flat roof. I'm not convinced that over time that the highlighted areas will not have issues with damp walls and water ingress. Over time. That area of the roof has higher than normal (hip/gable roof) propensity to fail.

Flat roof na like high maintenance girlfriend.

That's because what he did there is not how to implement flat roofing. That's a horrible job.

Hello family, what's your thought on this? Is it a good buy?
If that location is by legislative quarters there is pending case on the entire estate. I bought couple in that estate 10 years ago. Even though civil defense cooperative have all there paperwork intact the legislators trying to take it over, the case is still pending. Dino Malayer was the senate chairman on Abuja matter then, when there filled the case. Be careful in what you want to getting in to.

rmx has a picture of the right way to do it.
You will need a flat sheet measured, cut and contoured to cover the side walls from top. The top part should extend to cover the top wall caps. This will ensure that you will never worry about water leakage ever. It shouldn't add much to the overall cost of roofing.

Plz I want to see the wrong way of doing it and the right now oh. I believe it can be done in 2 ways! 1) hidden flat roof with blocks covering the roof left ;right center while the 2) the roof seats on the block which makes the roof visible to all. How can I get both pix ?

Those side block walls should be covered with aluminum pan. Usually those people that bend the aluminum pans should be able
to use the measurements to bend the flat pans to fit exactly into the space. The goal is to make sure that the block works and
cap above the flat roof are not be exposed to water. That is a permanent way to ensure no leakage nor water soaking the walls whatsoever.

NB: if done well and channelled well, the roof will last a lifetime with no leakage problems.

Like someone said above, we need someone reliable to b around our project, imagine a bricklayer decided to measure 15 headpan of sand for 1 bag of cement for setting blocks contrary to 12 headpan of sand Instructed nd when confronted he refused to measure the stipulated portion claiming it's a standard until we change it for him big time nd treating to sack him before he heed to our instructions to measure 12headpan. We need to b around because these guys are foolish pple and are ready to do away with our materials if chanced.
