Odogwu spyder.. May ur years be long and full of new contracts.. Pls I have a question! I recently completed the decking of my house and I am looking to start the block work soon! Must the coaches of blocks on the first level be the same on the 1st and final floor? Or can the coaches on the first floor be slightly more than the one down to get that high ceiling effect.. For the lower floor we have 9 coaches - lintel - then 3 more coaches before lintel.

As long as the decking is reinforced with beams under the slab, you can add a higher number of blocks on the upper floors, but what about the final look of the house?
If windows on the ground floor are shorter that windows on the upper floors,
Or if the headroom on the upper floors are higher than the headroom on the lower floor.

It could be aesthetically unpleasant for some people with an eye for detail.

This is why I love turnkey kind of projects. They allow you to plan effectively. You havent even roofed rooted your already doing windows.

By the time finishing comes, everything will go together at once. Less time wasted.

Project management becomes easier. No wasted days.

But I know not everyone can afford turnkey!

I should show you pictures of my "tall bungalow". Its also about 4m high!!!

Thank you.. You have said it all

For the window lintels at the back of the living rooms..........

I must say that I love this building. This is by far the project you have done which I wish is mine. I have a fear for heights so upstairs no be for me.

But this bungalow will give my neighbors a feel of upstairs while ensuring I don't climb stairs at the end of business day. If this isn't two in one combo deal, I don't know what is.


Yes before you ask, over here we build to intimidate neighbors and friends and enemies alike. That's why our roof is always very tall
