Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated
truthbetold22:
Everybody is just commenting without reading properly. A one storey building is just a building with one deck only. Yes, 5 and 6 inches will more than suffice for it. 9 inches blocks only come into play compulsorily when it is a 2 storey building. For a one storey, 9 inches is optional. In 90% of duplexes and blocks of 4 flats in nigeria, 5 and 6 inches blocks are used. Unless it is specified by the structural engineer which means the pillars are 9 inches too.

The koko is the Structural design of the Building.

Reinforcement.
Concrete mix and Design. Etc

Not by Size of the blocks

Please don't allow him do such for that is not standard practice.
It's always recommended that 9" blocks used in such kind of building.
This is irrespective of how professional he is.


I am very sure money is not the issue for you in such work, so don't let him go ahead with such. This is not about trust.

Do you not have a complete building design plan or was he the one who procured it for you?
Please if you do please can you upload or snapshot it for all to see , the architectural and structural aspect.

The person in charge of my building says he uses 6inch and 5 inch block for one storey building, while all the people i know use 9inch and 6inch respectively...now he is saying i dont trust him with the qork, he has built many one story buildings using 6 and 5 inches...I am just exhausted...what do you think?

Thanks a million
bixton:
You ought to have a building plan and follow through what's on the design to know the size of block to use assuming whoever did the design is a true professional and not some quack.
If you have a building plan, where you have 225mm along building wall lines represents 9 inches blocks and 150mm for 6 inches.

Charisdesigns:
Consider using 9"

That will amount that your column are at least 9" columns (which is the minimum column section)

2) with the method of constructing residential buildings in Nigeria (unframed structure) block walls eventually becomes load bearing. As such you are better off using 9" especially at the ground floor Area.

If you are on budget, talk to your engineer to see which walls (usually partitions upstairs) are not load bearing and substitute with 6"

Good luck.

Most blocks out there are not strong, if you ain't moulding, it's advisable you put columns at certain edges or corners of the building, mostly especially if you are having an in-situ concrete fascia.
