I wonder when we would start seeing stuff like these in our local building sites, even if its in shorter length

May be in commercial buildings... in residential; long time.

The Chinese are doing some knock offs but they are very much inferior.
The Brits stopped production in 1968 (mine was a 67), the Aussies stopped in 1981 and the Portugese in 1984.

Please point me to the Chinese version when you have it.... will be hard to get any other version now.

erico2k2:

I think you can get the Q plated ones,I'm not entirely sure.

That'll be the Chokes "Chinese Mokes". I sold my 67 for $25k on eBay and I regret it ever since.

Before and after.

Fell in love with them for my short duration in Seychelles.

Mine was a proper UK one, complete with a stiff upper lip

It was right-hand drive too, caused quite the issue at drive-through windows.

Strictly from a Nigeria building scheme of which I am not an indepth expert.

The side support is of extreme importance, can't be of the weak shyte blocks that is common, so has to be reenforced poured concrete. Added cost.

The good thing is that once that is done, and limited to span, then the slab can be completed in a few hours and immediately ready for loading.

I've watched many episodes of Grand Designs where this type slab has been used.

Here's a variation being used in Ghana

I'm not a builder and I yield to the "real" builders.

I think I would be more conffy using this as a german floor rather than a suspended slab.

@ erico2k2, I take God beg you don't continue to talk about Naija like some primitive cage where people still leave under the rock.

Checkout this Ibadan company that produces precast slabs
http://www.itbng.com/affiliates/hollow-core-precast-slabs-factory/

Go to their project page to see how Four Point VI was built.

nah mate U missed the point,waht I was saying is used in our small houses like mine.not like full scale commercial buildings

People do this as well in local buildings. If only I can do a good search, I've posted this on one of my old thread very long time ago about a Benin Republic type of block used for residential construction. The same block (6" hollow) was used for the slab. It's over 4 years now.

I'll repost here if I found it again. Still saw the building in Arepo, Ogun state last week and it has been occupied.

I remember telling the guys to make me the special mold then.

Congrats sir... Na God

Anything that can reduce the weight of a house should be a welcomed idea but it must be done by artisans who knows what they are doing. Not trial by error.
Certain things you learn in life from experience especially the use of 6" hollow block to reduce the weight of a slab. If it's not properly done, it ends in tragedy.

10k due today, outstanding balance is 160k.
I am still waiting on your idea of paying this up in 2 installments. Does not trouble me asking every week, can certainly do so 16 more times.

I don't understand why people do that all the time.

Nobody comes here to discuss commercial high rises.

This is a rib slab with precast rib beam. The hollow block are made to have some minimum strength.

It is very cost effective because you eliminate lots of formwork and concrete section

The 1 meter rule is above the head course and not the roof height. The roof height (loft space) is a redundant space.

yes! I came second. My involvement in politics made me lose the first position. I tot we should just play the APC and PDP game with fun not knowing ppl are hating you for REAL with your comments. Thank God I have left the section for good. The hate is real over there.

erico2k2:

My friend, this is the part of you I DO NOT LIKE.
Y are U so quick to dismiss people if you do not know what a Q plate is why don you ask and let me or Egun explain to you so you can add to you bank of knowledge or U think Im one of dem lot that speak frm their back side?

1.) I hope this wont degenerate into another 'long story'?

2.) I am NOT dismissing "YOU" as a person. My reference was to the COMMENT you made. The two are different..

3.) Leave Egun out of this, no need to attach him to an issue you want to raise with me..... it may "wrongly", suggests "gangsterism"!

4.) below is your comment, verbatim, ...that l responded to

ok anything out of a Box that drives with 4 wheels that is now called a car is a KIT car, In the UK, your number plate must start with Q, hence I said Q plate

5.) Even if l dont know the meaning of "Q-plate" or have never been to the UK before, Google is always our friend, it is free and does not insult anyone for asking!

A 'Q' registration number is usually assigned to a vehicle by the DVLA when the vehicle's age or identity is unknown. The vehicle may be rebuilt from parts, some of which may not be new. This also applies to vehicles which are[b] imported WITHOUT supporting evidence to identify the vehicles age. [/b]

6.) My response was that not ALL CARS MUST have a Q-plate.
Emphasis on "ALL CARS" & "MUST".
My understanding is that if it is not an "undefined car", it does not have to have a Q-plate.


7.) No where in that definition did it say "ALL CARS IN THE UK have Q-plate"...... which is the impression "l" got from that sentence in your post.

Now, l understand that other people "may" use words or compose their sentences "loosely" ....and in the process, it may connote a different meaning to others reading it.
That is not enough reason to fly-off the handle and l dont come here for "likes" since its not about my person (no one even knows my person so, WTF?) .... its just limited to the comments we make, how we learn from each other and nothing more.


Easy Bro, let's move-on

Thank you,
