Guys, please I have a learning opportunity here. Not a criticism but simply trying to understand building methods.
In first picture I see stacks of rebars which I presume is for the pillar in between the fence to support it.
In second picture I see the walls are up. I don't see any evidence of a mat that the pillars will tie into. I looked closely but I don't even see any mat at all.
In third picture (from SPyder880's thread) I see an example of pillars embedded into the blinding from the get go.
How will the pillars have strength if assuming they don't tie into the mat? Please explain this findings please.
Thanks.

The Terrain is rocky, Which doesn't necessitate usage of mat for the pillars except the pillars for the gates only.

Sir, kindly take a look at the background in order to note the layers that has been scraped to the present layer, we are working on.
I proposed a pillar in order to aid the stability of the fence than bonding the fence with blocks despite not carrying any imposed load.

@Adebaxton
Are you going to show us the 3D of the building... or no consent from the client? Nice work so far though. Thanks.
Nice to see you opened a construction thread even though I have seen you around.


Hajji M.

Well, provide 3200-3500 blocks.

Can you provide a sketch of ur description in order to calculate for the inner walls?

bigjallow:
Your calculations say like 1, 680 blocks for the outer walls, so do you think we could use more than that for the inner walls to roof level?

Can you give me a quote for the house please for all stages?

That's for the outer walls

Let's do little Maths.
12m= 39.37 ft
39.37 x 4 sides= 157.48 ft
2 blocks = 3 ft
157.48 / 3ft= 52.49 x 2 blocks= 104.98 appr. 105 blocks per course + 15 breakage allowance= 120 blocks per course.
Substructure=3 course
Super structure A( window level)= 4 course
B= 5 course to lintel
After lintel = 2 course
3+4+5+2= 14 course x 120 blocks= 1, 680 blocks

Make provision for 2,000 blocks.


Apology: did it on mobile
