Well no, is not our architect that designed the building.

Okay, i understand your concern but you know, people have different view, understanding and value for things.

However, we advise our clients but we equally allow them to decide, provided is not detrimental to the structure.

This is a very matured response to an otherwise weird critic. The part of the design being questioned has no structural implication to the building and it's the owner's choice. Keep up the good work

I don't know why some are saying the design is "ugly". People have differences in taste and the design is what the owner wants. His money, his choice.

Now, if the criticism was about structural deficiences, that would be a different conversation.

Personally, i doff my heart to the owner of the project, it is obviously a massive undertaking.

Your substructure work is perfect

From one civil engineer to another, good job

Just before the deck beings a quick review of the Leveling.

We consider 10 courses before the lintel and 5 courses after lintel to achieve 4.1m- 4.2m wall before the deck

Nothing beats a very high headroom, and you have got it in abundance here. Kudos

For learning purpose, in the 3rd frame the reinforcements seems to be less than 400mm (I may be wrong) after the 5th course(post lintel) will that length be sufficient for development length/bar?

Great work you are doing here engineer.

Thanks, if i understand your question, you want to know the plans for the bar to continue since is almost covered with the height of the blocks ( the 5th course after lintel) ?

Yes
Thank you.

psychologist:


Yes
Thank you.

You are welcome, well we will first of all add links or ligature to the rebar then join a new rebar for the next floor to this almost buried rebar during the beam and deck iron work.

I hope this answers your question. Though we will soon get to that stage.

Almost done with the deck wood work

Structural construction of the spiral stairs

The spiral staircase design

Panel reinforcement almost concluded,

stairs reinforcement and casting.

Joining the column rebar for continuity

More on panel reinforcement and electrical works

More update

* Tiding up electrical works

* Checks and meticulous supervision

* Casting the beams and panels

Good job. Why didn't you introduce the centre column for the spiral staircase for support.

Thank you, nice observation but take a careful look. Every spiral stair/step should have a column or beam, or column and beam support whichis best practice. This one is enjoying both column and beam support.

Please, view pictures below.
