Another milestone nearing completion | Browne Mews

EgunMogaji:
Okay now this is a long thing.

Won't the hardcore settle down alongst with the laterite?

Oga eghosajohnny,

It's not my style to give advice on other peoples thread without taking permission from the OP. Sorry I had to do this for the diety!

If the backfill was properly compacted and perimeter kept at a constant moisture and there's no leakage in the plumbing line, there wouldn't be any cause for alarm. That explains the reason why many agreed it's not necessary.

What I said earlier is that it would have been better if there's reinforcement? Even with the reinforcement, hardcore and compaction - sand will still settle.

The effect? Not catastrophic

- Shrinkage/Settlement Crack
- Misaligned Doors
- Hollow sound in some area that settles faster due to poor compaction.

The fix is to drill a hole and fill the void area. Also ensure that you keep your perimeter wall free from water.

mrpally:
What is the effect of this on the building most especially since it is a bungalow, are you saying the building is not strong and can collapse?

No, the house is strong! But it would have been better if there's reinforcement (no matter how little) even if it is layers of hardcore prior to the slab. Here's a picture of a foundation after 10 months. What held the concrete in place is the reinforcement beneath the slab. Sand will definitely settle whether you're building a bungalow or storey buildings. Whether you use laterite or sharp sand to fill.

Well done!

K-024 | Updates

In a structured environment like ours, everything requires documentation. The work we're doing now may spill over to the wee hours of the day and it's against the rules and regulations of the estate.

So I'm meeting the estate manager for "Extended Work Hour Permit" in case we will ever need it.
