This is my greatest news for the year. Nothing less than this should be the judgement for rapist all over the world

twinskenny:


Well am not the Enginneer that did it.. it was only cement and granite mixed with sharp sand that’s all…

So what's german floor?
All these constituents make up concrete. In addition, a wire mesh is needed to place on the concrete before setting together with a polythene material to serve as a membrane for moisture penetration from the ground

The elders have spoken.
Good one Baba OBJ

Blessings7:
I'm about to build a bungalow but the German floor cost is scaring me. So my question is, "Can I build without German floor or is there an alternative?

Half dpc can be done if the general site condition is good. Considering the topography, type of soil, water table. Etc. U need to look at all of those before considering the aforementioned.

It's not his packaging ra ra, the guy must have done you guys some jazz

Buried a dog at night and the rest is history.

Packaging dey there too ooo, I heard from a reliable source that most of these regular guys on this thread clients give jobs to are not even Professionals in the built arena. Yet, they parade themselves as Engineers, Builders and Architects(as the case may be).

Someone without professional inclination will act anyhow to a client because he doesn't have tie or bond with the professional body.

Clients should ask for current Practice license before giving a job out to these so called Vendors. I think that will in a way reduce issues of this nature. My humble opinion ☺️

If you can build a house, you can afford a DPC. You are just not spending your money in the right places or you are not building right.

The FIRST function of a DPC is to spread load before preventing rising damp. Buildings have DEAD load and all building will settle at some point be it bungalow or 21 floors. A building without German floor has greater propensity to settle differentially leading to problems.

We have discussed cracks in bungalow in the past at this page: https://www.nairaland.com/2550211/general-topic-thread-to-discuss-anything/1568

Take a look at the attached pic and notice the cracks caused by the failure of the lintel and the arch beam pressure on the poor quality blocks.

Blocks in Nigeria are of generally poor quality. If you place beams on block walls as with bungalow without internal columns it means the walls are not only block partitions but also significant load bearing wall. If the block quality is poor, during settlement and without the aid of Germany floor, you run the risk of cracks.

If you must beam, think columns as well. Just beaming block walls without columns originating from the foundation is poor practice bungalow or no bungalow.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm surprised most of the comments that I have read as regards this case are not talking about the best construction global practices.

When it comes to structural stability of a building, we should try and leave gambling out of it.

We all know a building should be designed for stability first before thinking about the cost and aesthetic purposes.

Mr.Professional,

Do you know what inside the sandblock or heard from the Builder before calling he a name?

Please you can shed more light on the aforementioned. I didn't call anyone name.

There is difference between a bricklayer and a builder
