Oga mi, lovely work as usual. but roof not as high as yours. How high is this one?

Hajji M.

This is slightly shorter than mine by just about 450mm. I was told this area is prone to high winds so we made a lot of effort to ensure that the roof is safe.

I also did some modifications to this house plan to make it more functional, I added a balcony off the master bedroom to provide additional relaxation options for the occupants. This new balcony was not in my own house.

thanks for ur response, but i meant from foundation to instalation of the stone coated roofing tiles

Dear spyder880 sorry to derail your tread, I have a little challenge in my building and need some expert advice.
I have serious cracks on the wall of my building as a result of poor job execution from the builder. The cracks even affected the POP. See attached pictures.
Do you have anybody you can recommend to carry out this repairs? The location of the property is Benin. I fear the walls may fall down soon if repairs are not carried out by competent builders.

I will greatly appreciate your reply. Thanks

This looks very much like symptoms of a foundation defect known as "differential settlement" Lets talk about it and how best to prevent it.

Avoiding differential settlement starts from processes followed before the house construction is started. We should get soil samples tested in labs to establish their safe bearing capacities. Some soils are weak while some are stronger, many times, clients will want to skip this important investigation due to the added cost. 

The soil sample will provide information on the expected future behaviour of the soil when the building loads has been imposed on it. This will in turn inform the designers of the building on the types of foundation to plan for. Its not every land that a specific foundation can work on, and two lands in the same area can have different sub soils, prompting different foundation designs. 

Another point to note is wrong construction methods for even foundations designed properly, some people who know a lot less, or not trained in the profession can initiate work with the right foundation suited for a land and still mess up the work. Sometimes, it's as a result of trying to cut corners or inadequate supervision time to stay around and monitor each process. Wrong use of mixing ratios, wrong size and placement of reinforcement rods, wrong applications of curing periods and ignoring basic engineering rules like levels and lines can create problems for the foundation. 

Most cracks you see on walls run from deep inside the ground, and are caused when a part of the foundation sinks deeper than another side of the same foundation due to the building load, during or after construction. All buildings settle after construction, at least to up to 5mm minimum. But problem starts when some sides are settling in excess of 25-50mm or more
