My oga I'm at the stage of roofing a 3bedroom flat... Please i am at the verge of making decision on using slate, aluminium or gerade... But we kobo kobo client, How much does Aluminium for this work cost?
Slate is the cheapest to use, followed Aluminum then Gerard

But I will recommend using aluminum, with aluminum you have different gauges to choose from at different prices.We used 0.55 thickness on this project

The total cost for the roofing this building is~2.9M.

Does the foundation beam help to solve dampness experience on the building walls .
No, Foundation beam does not prevent rising dampness. (Because concrete on its own is porous)

Rising dampness is prevented by placing of DPM (Damp prove membrane).

you rather collect rent from the tenants than give them comfort, and you had the guts to post this on property section as a form of advertising. This is beyond wickedness and you should be ashamed to not advice your client against it!
It is well with you. Thanks for stopping by

Greetings all..
Please what's the condition to use a ground beam on a foundation. And is ground beam and foundation beam the same .

Thanks all
Just to add to what Engr Aforxy said

Ground beams are laid on ground just like raft (but they are not raft) they are used where the soil bearing capacity is low, they help prevent differential settlement (sinking foundation) especially when constructing a strip foundation (p.s All foundation work should follow structural engineer/drawing recommendation)

Plint beam on the other hand is provided not at the natural ground level but after some number of blocks, it is mostly used in cases when you have high foundation walls, it reduces your wall and column slenderness and prevent column buckling (Shearing) because of its height.
It also tie all columns together and make them monolithic
As a result of high foundation, lots of filling is expected in and outside of the foundation, hence the plinth beam provides another layer of support against the soil load acting on both side of the wall, in order to avoid foundation tearing.
