hello guyz,

pls i need advice on an issue .

I am currently building a 5bedroom duplex , we decked the building around October last year with no issues. the building has 2rooms downstairs and 3rooms upstairs. but recently, i noticed that in the masters bedroom, which is a bit bigger than others, you can feel a slight vibration under your feet when you jump on the decking. like a pulse under your feet. this vibration isnt felt while walking normally, just when you jump. every other room doesnt vibrate like this one. the engineer said its normal because of the size of the room, but i have fears, a house i want to live in with my kids,whats the assurance after 5 or 10yrs.

will it stop after i floor and tile......
.should i find a way to reinenforce it.......

pls advice .@spyder and co.

Do you have a structural design

Hi Zamirikpo
Please I would like to know how you solved this problem of vibration.
I have similar issue and I was told it would stop when I put tiles but I am not convinced.
