That's small..I would recommend 1x9.
See attached image.

Alternatively, you can convert the roof of the front porch to "Gabe-roof" if you are trying to avoid having the beam covered.
Well noted. Thanks

the lobby space between the dinning and the kitchen can be used as store.
Exactly my observation. I wonder how people design/manage homes without a store or even extra space for keeping certain things. To me, I would rather not have a dinning or all these ante rooms but must have a storeroom.

Anyway, you can send me pictures of the front porch via the link on my signature..best to see before further assessment.

Well, 1..it affects the internal height/ceiling level of the building.
2. It equally affects the aesthetics.. because most times the front porch beams are almost entirely covered by the roof eaves and you know this is part of what gives the external areas of the building it's beauty.

Though these things don't really matter for some, but I always advice the standard 2-course blockwork for the beams.
Thanks for your time my brother and sorry for bothering you. The real situation is that the other walls have 3courses of blocks on top of their lintels while the front porch has only one course. We didn't actually notice until after the roofing wood work was completed. Now the entire one course and even the beam are almost covered already and the roofing sheet is yet to be installed. In this very situation, can the front porch arc/beam be lowered by one course to remedy the situation. How best can this be achieved? Thanks

Oh..I get it now, for me it isn't.
Contractors/house owners do that when they want to cut down on costs.
Please What effect is it going to have on the house?
Properties / Re: Picture Thread: Ongoing Remodeling Project: Umuahia. by joycluv: 4:15pm On Oct 06, 2020

That's what I'm trying to make you understand that the parapet beam is yet to come up. What you have on the porch is a beam and not a lintel. The porch beam is resting on the general lintel.

Measuring from the top of the DPC to the bottom of a lintel gives you 2.1m..but from top of the DPC to the bottom of the porch beam, excluding the slight curve is 2.325m.

See this attached project picture.
I clearly understood you but am actually referring to another build not really this one you are building. So to put it better, is it normal to have one course of block on top of front porch lintel/beam as its final level. NOTE: The house in question does not have any parapet or any other beam after the one course. Thanks for your time
Properties / Re: Picture Thread: Ongoing Remodeling Project: Umuahia. by joycluv: 8:31am On Oct 06, 2020
Yes. Your explanation is clear. But the issue here is that house has two courses on top of the lintels while the porch has only one course on top of its own lintel. The question now is whether that one course of block on top of the front porch as its final level is normal noting the fact that there is no beam or parapet. Thanks
Properties / Re: Picture Thread: Ongoing Remodeling Project: Umuahia. by joycluv: 4:12pm On Oct 05, 2020
Trust you'll do wonders to this structure as usual. Plz, how proper is it to level a front porch with only one course of block?

If you are to put all standard setback in consideration, you can't have 4 bedroom Duples.

shocked

That’ll be against the ethics of this profession. grin

If I do that, how do I want other architects and building professionals who worked tirelessly to put this together to chop grin

The full design can be provided at a reasonable cost or I can send your architect the dwg file to work on at reasonable price.

I think that’ll be a fair thing to do.
OK. I understand. Thanks once again

Yes, a very compact 4 bedroom duplex that’ll meet the standard setback requirement can be built on the land.

This 4 bedroom duplex design can be scaled down to fit the land. Remove the large porch, terraces and trim the lounge/dining down a bit and it’ll perfectly fit.
Thanks so much for this. Please can you share the upper floor of this plan if you don't mind? I'll appreciate.

People say abestos is poisonous to human's health but that is where they born and trained us till now, I took up a project and my client did not want to spend much so we concluded on using nigerite boards for pop ceiling and it came out well after screening just like pop ceiling designs. You can contact a good carpenter and give him the design to do, it will come out fine
Please do share the pictures if you have them.

Maybe you didn't read my comment on the post, i suggested having it inside. I raised the question because she was not satisfy with my response and the position of the door. The door can also be put outside if that is what she is thinking then i will now explain to her the negatives of it. This similar situation has been dictated by clients umpteen times. Some wanted it outside while some inside some don't want it at all while some will never take a design without it.
A similar issue to this is that of Guest bedroom. Some think it should be accessed from the Living room, others think it should be from the Ante room thereby blocking the room from the main house. My question now is " what should be the right practice?"
