@bold1 can u be more explicit sir?

@bold2 With his size of building,4" thickness is the maximum going by architectural standard. People do 3".

@bold This is the least economical approach to german flooring, how else do u solve capilary rise outside concrete capping?

Hope u don't get irked by the debate sir, as we are learning... smiley
Building a house:
Based on the topography of your land your foundation depth is 600mm (bungalows) and +900mm(storey building,etc,etc.)
Blinding 150mm thickness(standard) done with cement+sharp sand+granite with appropriate mix ratio.
Raise blocks to desired dpc level (take into consideration the height of existing access road).
In certain instances we use concrete mix to fill the block form work (first block from ground) before raising to desired dpc level.

If you do all these well without cutting corners you have no reason to worry for capillary rise affecting your structure.

The other less economical options are considered for low cost housing projects and not for this thread.

Why do u think people reinforce german floor?
Did u see the thickness the poster is proposing?
If u remove concrete cover from such thickness, what do u think will be left for reinforcement to do chaining? Reinforcement done for german floor is slab like, not beam like, how are u going to chain a building with that? U chain a buildng with plinth beam, lintel & slab beam. not german floor. The reason for reinforcing german floor is different from chaining & it isn't necessary in this case.
You keep mentioning german floor repeatedly. What I mentioned is for the walls alone(where blocks run). And I know all the reasons for it. Now as regards the concrete thickness he can choose to do a minimum of 4" thickness.

There are lots of less economical approach to the subject matter. It's all a matter of choice.

johnson232:
He is not doing a plinth beam sir.
What he is proposing is not new, it is the method adopted by most people who can't afford a complete dpc.
Well I do not know what most people do over there.
This is what we do over here.
You can use R12(preferred) or R10.
Tell your iron bender to do same thing as for lintel. It should run continuous on all walls in the building. If you want to be economical you do it on all external walls and major walls cutting across the building. Depending on the span of your structure you can choose to introduce columns at all ends of your structure.

Hello people.

I just need some inputs and advice concerning my situation. 

I have just completed the foundation for my twin flats (2bed and 1bedroom) and I'm about to take a decision on the German flooring. 

Due to cost constraints I have at the moment, I'm forced to think of other options that will possibly achieve the same end results. 

Instead of German flooring, I'm considering a 150mm thick concrete layer on the blocks alone throughout the entire foundation. I'm of the opinion that this option will stop ingress of moisture from the soil to the superstructure, prevent insects and rodents from moving through the soil to the roof, offer some sort of atabilizatin for the building and of course drastically reduce the cost associaTed with filling the entire foundation with concrete.

I'll like that you please look into my idea and advise me based on your experience.

Thanks in advance
I do not know your cash constraints but it would be economical to do the flooring with a mixture of sharp sand and fine coarse (3/8"wink or coarse alone.

Nonetheless I'm sure you know that which you intend doing will be reinforced.

@bixton. That's the idea. Only to reap profits. I still have not received my prepaid meter that I've paid for over 3 years now. I guess every homeowner is a government-you depend on yourself for electricity(generator or inverter), water(thru borehole).
You even get to do your drainage and construct your own access road.

Exactly.this is why the answer to this question bellow is tricky
WHY SHOULD ANY SANE PERSON BUY DISCOS IN NIGERIA .
The only reason they sold and bought discos was only to make wholesome profits. Even to allocate prepaid meters is a huge problem even when users have actually requested and paid for such.

In response to this post above, manufacturers spent 129.95billion Naira on power generation last year, it is on the front page, you can go peruse over it if you can, this are part of the cost in the production process & chain that they all go through daily and they pass it to consumers via their products, and as long as the kangaroo government both past and present didn't do enough to address nor ameliorate this issue, the masses are in for tougher times ahead, you don't expect me to spend so much to produce a bag of cement and put it in the market at a loss smiley
Nigeria is the only country where every and any investor who knows the right persons within the social circle will rip excessive profits. With all the hullabaloo about power generation and distribution we are all aware of the magnificent profits MTN declared in Nigeria and when you compared that to the parent country South Africa you will know that we're here in this country for exploitation.
Sure we in for tougher times and God willing it will not be so so tough.
The oil sector is about to enter a revolution and you can guess what Nigerians should be expecting when the actors involved are the ones who want nothing but monopoly.

Those are common knowledge i dont sell steel mind you am just a regular buyer so i get small idea and i know for a fact most of the time only 10mm varies in price 16mm and 12mm rods are sold at same price. and mainly that of 10 is cos of transport as a result of it having 133 nos. Also demand and supply for the 10mm and 8mm. i leave other details for those selling nah them sabi price. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy Regards
It's all about weight and nothing more. Having the same price has nothing to do with it. We may only argue if the price difference is insignificant at all depending on the quantity involved.

These are the various prices in my location a couple of days back when I purchased.
16mm-------3500
12mm-------1900
10mm-------1250
8mm---------1050

Do the calculations as against the quantity per ton and see which favours which and who it favours.
